Chelsea Women get ready to face Lyon in Women's Champions League

Chelsea will take a one-goal lead back to Stamford Bridge after Guro Reiten’s sublime finish secured an impressive win over holders Lyon in the Women’s Champions League quarter-finals.

The eight-time winners Lyon had the better of the early chances but Reiten curled a wonderful shot past Christiane Endler after an excellent pass from Erin Cuthbert. Lauren James came close to doubling Chelsea’s lead with a shot that hit the inside of the post, while Sam Kerr also had an opportunity late on.

Chelsea lost defender Millie Bright to injury near the end of the first half and Lyon came close to equalising after the break when Magdalena Eriksson lost possession inside her own box, but Ann-Katrin Berger was able to tip Delphine Cascarino’s shot onto the post.

Chelsea will host Lyon at Stamford Bridge next Thursday, where Emma Hayes’ side will look to advance to the semi-finals. Follow all the updates from Lyon vs Chelsea in the Women’s Champions League, which can be watched for free on YouTube:
