Chelsea are holding their own though. She slips a pass over to the left where Reiten runs onto it and curls a first time finish into the far bottom corner! She threads the ball up to Sara Dabritz who cuts onto her left foot then whips a shot narrowly wide of the far post. 40 mins: Cascarino plays Carpenter in behind Jess Carter before making an overlapping run to take the ball into the box. Perle Morroni makes a fine driving run down the left wing before slipping the ball past Eve Perisset.

But the show is very much back on the road now and the last time they failed to win a match, in fact, was the stalemate against Juventus at the end of that group stage in December. Then Sam Kerr is chasing on to a long ball over the top, but Endler comes out and deals with it comfortably. Wendie Renard brings the ball out of defence after Chelsea try to lump a ball into their left-hand channel. There’s a little scramble close to the Blues’ goal but Kerr helps with defensive duties and the visitors are able to clear their lines. Carpenter chases on to a diagonal ball to the Lyon right, but she can’t keep it in play. 9 min: Suddenly, after a ball from the back by Renard, Marozsan flicks it through and Le Sommer is one-on-one with Berger in the Chelsea goal! The home team are certainly on top here early doors – but they are yet to fashion a clear-cut chance. It looks like Kerr tries to play a one-two with James, but the ball breaks kindly for Lyon’s defenders and they can clear. 13 min: Lyon threaten again when Carpenter chips a good ball inside to Marozsan, and she helps it on to Le Sommer. Reiten has time to formulate a plan, and she wisely decides to hit the ball first-time, curling it right-footed beyond Endler and into the net. Dabritz does extremely well to buy a yard or two in a pocket of space on the edge of the area with several Chelsea defenders crowding around her. 33 min: Lyon try to answer back with an intricate little move on the edge of the area but nothing comes of it.
