Chelsea secured a 2-0 victory over Roma in the Women's Champions League with goals from Ellie Carpenter and Kadeisha Buchanan.

Chelsea secured a 2-0 victory over Roma in the Women's Champions League, with substitute Ellie Carpenter scoring six minutes after coming on in the second half. Defender Kadeisha Buchanan headed in from Wieke Kaptein's cross to seal the win just before the final whistle.

Chelsea made several substitutions at half-time, with Lauren James and Alyssa Thompson replaced after a wasteful first half despite creating numerous chances. Fellow substitutes Melvine Malard and Sjoeke Nusken also had opportunities to extend the lead but were unable to convert them.

The victory maintains Chelsea's unbeaten record across all competitions. They have now won two and drawn one of their opening three Women's Champions League league phase matches, temporarily moving to the top of the table. Manager Sonia Bompastor said she was pleased with the team's defensive performance, noting they have not conceded a goal in three Champions League games. Chelsea face Hacken, Paris Saint-Germain and Leuven in their final three league phase fixtures.
