17 h. ago Sam Kerr marks first Chelsea start in nearly two years with double in rout of St Pölten

Chelsea breezed past Austrian outfit St Pölten to seal their second Women’s Champions League victory of the campaign. Two goals from Catarina Macario, a finish from Wieke Kaptein, a double for Sam Kerr on her return to the starting lineup and an unfortunate Lisa Ebert own goal moved them up to second at the halfway stage of the league phase.There was no doubt that Bompastor’s side were coming into this as heavy favourites with evident disparities between the two. While both have dominated their domestic leagues in recent years – St Pölten have lifted the ÖFB-Frauenliga 10 times in the last decade; Chelsea have won eight WSL titles in the same time – the difference in resource, investment and experience in Europe is stark. While the English champions have reached the semi-finals of the competition for the last three seasons, the Austrians have to go back to November 2022 for their last win in Europe.

3 w. ago Gyökeres double adds gloss to Arsenal’s Champions League rout of Atlético

The crazy thing was that Atlético Madrid were well in this Champions League tie until the 57th minute. Diego Simeone’s team had defended robustly. They had just hit the crossbar through Julián Alvarez. But then they were not and it was the speed and brutality with which Arsenal moved the game away from them that took the breath.There were more set-piece goals, inevitably – for the breakthrough and No 4. It was Declan Rice to Gabriel Magalhães and then a repeat of the link-up, the only difference being that Gabriel headed square for Viktor Gyökeres to bundle over the line. Continue reading...
