There was more UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage action to enjoy on Thursday.
Here’s what happened.
Scorers: Kerr 67′
Chelsea are three points clear at the top of Group A after a hard-fought victory over Servette Chênois.
Emma Hayes’s side won 7-0 in Geneva last week but their Swiss opponents were determined to avoid a repeat as they kept things tight at Kingsmeadow, and the two sides went in at half-time with the score 0-0.
But just after Servette went close to scoring in the second half, Chelsea took the lead when Sam Kerr danced through the defence before slotting into the corner.
The struggling visitors were then reduced to 10 players when Amandine Soulard was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Niamh Charles.
Scorers: Katoto 33′, Karchaoui 70′
Paris Saint-Germain have qualified for the quarter-finals with two games to spare after winning away at Real Madrid.
PSG took the lead mid-way through the first half, when Marie-Antoinette Katoto poked in after Ramona Bachmann’s superb delivery from a set-piece.
The French champions then went 2-0 up through Sakina Karchaoui after a brilliant burst into the box.
Real Madrid remain second in Group B, two points ahead of Zhytlobud-1.
Scorers: Hendrich OG 53′, Stašková 90+3′
Juventus leapfrogged Wolfsburg into second in Group A despite the German hosts having most of the ball.
After a goalless first half, it was Juventus who went in front early in the second half courtesy of an own goal from Wolfsburg’s Kathrin-Julia Hendrich.
And Andrea Stašková then wrapped up the victory in stoppage time when she squeezed an effort through the legs of goalkeeper Almuth Schult.
Wolfsburg face Chelsea when the next round of group stage fixtures come around in December.
Scorers: Shevchuk 42′, Ovdiychuk 74′
In the battle of the Group B strugglers, it was Zhytlobud-1 who emerged with their first victory of the group stage.
Yuliia Shevchuk opened the scoring in the 42nd minute with what was the Ukranian side’s first goal of the group stage.
The visitors then made it 2-0 when Olha Ovdiychuk caught Breidablik goalkeeper Telma Ívarsdóttir off her line to score spectacularly.
That result leaves the Icelandic outfit bottom of the group, with 0 goals scored and just one point.
