🎯 New Chelsea Women's signing shines in Champions League debut
Chelsea Women's new signing Alyssa Thompson has been instrumental in the Blues' Women's Champions League clash with Paris FC.
The USA international, making her first-ever Champions League appearance, has looked bright in her early career in London, but hadn't made a goal contribution before tonight's game.
Chelsea opened the scoring through Sandy Baltimore's first-half penalty and Thompson assisted Johanna Rytting Kaneryd for the Blues' second just before half time.
The 20-year-old then scored her first-ever Chelsea goal minutes into the second half, finishing comfortably from inside the six-yard box.
