But Chelsea weren’t down and out just yet. Lauren James drew a penalty after the 120th minute and VAR review handed the hosts had a lifeline.

And despite another long delay for unknown reasons, Maren Mjelde – not Sam Kerr – stepped up with a brilliant top-corner shot to keep them alive.

Chelsea then went on the win on penalties 4-3 and knock holders Lyon out.

Simply ice cold.
