Chelsea joined Arsenal in overturning a two-goal first-leg deficit to reach the Women’s Champions League semi-finals by beating Manchester City via a 3-2 victory on aggregate.

Sonia Bompastor’s side took their 2-0 defeat in Manchester last week very personally. It was their only defeat of this campaign after all.

Chelsea knocked home three first goals in the space of 15 first-half minutes before half-time – in a dominant and shell-shocking display for City at Stamford Bridge.

The signs were there as Chelsea hit the post twice before getting their first. First, Nathalie Bjorn struck the woodwork, then Lucy Bronze curled one onto the post – but on that second occasion, Sandy Baltimore was there to rifle home into the far corner.

City tried to respond with Mary Fowler testing Hannah Hampton twice in rare chances – but the barrage on the City goal continued. Bjorn had an identical chance cleared off the line by Vivianne Miedema, but she would not be denied a third time. (SkySports)
