Lauren James scored twice as Chelsea clinched top spot in their Women’s Champions League group with a 3-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in front of 10,129 fans at Stamford Bridge.
Emma Hayes’ unbeaten side had already qualified for the knockout phase and simply needed to avoid defeat to their French opponents by two or more goals to lock up their position.
Sam Kerr opened the scoring late in a close-fought first half, which saw the sides enjoy an even split of possession.
The Blues’ final group-stage match marked the first time since 2016 that Chelsea had taken on European competition at the Premier League venue
