Pre-match: Chelsea v Paris FC BBC Radio 5 Live This video can not be played FT: Chelsea 4 - 0 Paris FC Chelsea win second Women's Champions League match after drawing their first First half goals from Baltimore (penalty) and stunning header from Rytting Kaneryd Thompson scored first Chelsea goal & Cuthbert scored scrappy fourth Get Involved: Comment at the top of this page Ciara Fleming Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Klaudia Jedlinska gets in behind Lucy Bronze on the Chelsea right hand side but skipper Millie Bright slides in with a superb challenge to prevent her getting a shot away. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Four additional minutes to play in West London. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC In fairness to the Paris they limited Chelsea to just four shots on target in the first half and only one big chance. The penalty seemed to rock them though and was mostly downhill from there. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Rachel Corsie Former Scotland captain on BBC Radio 5 Live For Paris it's been a tough night. They tried to be compact and defend well and then you go in 2-0 down at half-time. Then you get the sucker punch third goal at the start of the second half. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Océane Picard comes off and is replaced by Sharlie Yerro for her competitive debut for Paris FC. What a moment for the 16 year old. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Sjoeke Nusken finds herself in acres of space as Guro Reiten's cross heads towards her at the back post. She unselfishly tries to nod it into the path of Sam Kerr but it lands just behind her and Deja Devis clears. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Chelsea keep on launching wave after wave of attack at the Paris goal. Sam Kerr has a half volley blocked before Maika Hamano stings the palms of Mylene Chavas. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Rachel Corsie Former Scotland captain on BBC Radio 5 Live The margins with the nature of the table format are going to open things up. Finishing in the top four will be really tough. And it will be hard for Chelsea to finish there, not because I don't think they're good enough, but because there's going to be twists and turns. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Nice one-two between Sam Kerr and Maika Hamano before the Japan international squares for Guro Reiten to shoot. She's tackled at the last moment though. Nathalie Bjorn gets her head to the corner but it's wayward. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Just ten minutes left at Stamford Bridge. I think Paris would happily take 4-0 here given the mood Chelsea have played themselves into in this second half. They look dangerous every time they come forward. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC That's a sore one for Deja Davis. She was just caught there by Sam Kerr as they both contested an aerial ball. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Paris FC skipper Clara Mateo comes off for Lorena Azzaro. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Guro Reiten has been a real menace since she came on. She's just breezed past Melween N'Dongala there before chipping an effort onto the crossbar. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Rachel Corsie Former Scotland captain on BBC Radio 5 Live I think this is a perfect scenario for Sonia Bompastor. They've got the lead early, so they can make changes. In the league, it's a lot about keep doing the same thing. They've been dominant in most of the games they've played in. She'll be very pleased, and we're early on in the season, and they look very good. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC That's the end of the night for Sandy Baltimore, who got the scoring started for Chelsea. On comes 19 year old Lexi Potter for her senior Chelsea debut. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Lucy Bronze whips a devilish delivery towards Sam Kerr on the penalty spot. The Australian manages to stretch her leg back far enough to divert the ball goalwards but it's blocked behind by Deja Davis and the corner doesn't come to much. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Chelsea have scored 4 goals in a Champions League game for the first time since 11th December 2024 against Twente (W6-1). The Blues' goal scoring woes have been banished here. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC Two more changes for the visitors. On: Fiona Liaigre and Klaudia Jedlinska Off: Maëlle Garbino and Célina Ould Hocine Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC That's cheeky from Sandy Baltimore. It looked for all the world that she was destined to lose the ball up against two Paris defenders in the far corner but the French international duped them both with a drag back and nutmeg before getting her cross away. Chelsea 4-0 Paris FC There's a bit of confusion about who in blue actually got the final touch for that fourth goal. Replays showed Kerr head it down towards goal but Cuthbert was definitely dangling a leg in there as it went back over the line. Alyssa Thompson (right) joined Chelsea from Angel City for a club record fee of just under £1m last month At a glance Alyssa Thompson scores her first Chelsea goal and registers an assist in dominant win over Paris FC Sandy Baltimore, Erin Cuthbert and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd also score at Stamford Bridge Chelsea are yet to lose a game in any competition this season PLAYER RATER Club record signing Alyssa Thompson scored her first goal as a dominant Chelsea emphatically beat Paris FC in the Women's Champions League league phase. The Blues had begun their European campaign with a frustrating 1-1 draw at FC Twente last week which meant they were already trailing other European heavyweights in the standings heading into the second round of games. The visitors set up with a compact defence and frustrated Chelsea as they struggled to create chances in the box, but Sonia Bompastor's side were gifted the opener when Sjoeke Nusken was judged to have been fouled in the area after a video assistant referee (VAR) check and Sandy Baltimore rifled home from the spot. Paris attempted to battle back but were shaky - Erin Cuthbert snatched possession in midfield and fed Thompson out wide, who found Johanna Rytting Kaneryd in the area to head past Mylene Chavas. Chelsea's dominance produced a string of promising chances, with Aggie Beever-Jones nearly adding a third when she struck the underside of the bar shortly before half-time. It took less than 90 seconds from the restart for 20-year-old United States forward Thompson to inflict further damage on Paris, prodding home a drilled Keira Walsh pass at the back post. Paris never looked like finding a path back into the game and Chelsea further extended their lead when the visitors failed to clear after substitute Sam Kerr headed a Baltimore corner towards goal, allowing Cuthbert to tap in on the line. The attempts continued to flow for the hosts and Guro Reiten rattled an effort off the bar, but they were unable to increase their goal tally. Victory means Chelsea have four points from their opening two matches in Europe and are unbeaten in all competitions after eight games this season. Wiegman wanted retired Bright in England squad How Bright left her mark on historic Lionesses Stunning Walsh strike extends Chelsea's unbeaten league run Following an unconvincing run of fixtures for Chelsea, with back-to-back draws before Sunday's narrow victory over Tottenham, this was exactly the display Bompastor would have wished for. While opposition low blocks have often stymied the final-third spaces in which Chelsea would usually flourish, they remained resolute in their attacking efforts and seized chances once the momentum shifted. Thompson stole the show before being brought off in the 56th minute as her blistering pace proved too much for the visitors to handle. Impressive, too, was the quality of her display when she evidently is yet to have fully adjusted to her new surroundings. At times, a lack of connection was apparent as runs were misjudged or team-mates failed to switch on to her movement, but even an imperfect Thompson was enough to significantly trouble Paris. The change with which Thompson departed highlighted another element crucial to Chelsea being able to deal with dogged defences - she was one of three who went off as Kerr, Reiten and Maika Hamano came on, all substantial attacking threats. Bompastor later brought on England full-back Lucy Bronze, who had a cameo at the weekend in her first game since the Euro 2025 final and revealing she had played the entire tournament with a broken leg. Bronze is just one important player who is returning to fitness. Lauren James is still sidelined following an ankle injury at the Euros and her strengths could have helped Chelsea to do even better against the compact backline as - before Paris' collapse - the Blues missed her ability to pick passes and weave through defences. Another commanding victory shows how Bompastor has shaped a relentless side who can grind out games in Europe. Chelsea host London City Lionesses in the Women's Super League (WSL) on Saturday, 1 November (12: 00 GMT), in their first game after the international break. Paris travel to Real Madrid on 11 November (20: 00) in their next Women's Champions League match.
