Chelsea continued their impressive unbeaten run with a comfortable 3-1 win over FC Twente in the second game of the UEFA Women’s Champions League group stages.

Head coach Sonia Bompastor has taken to her new role like a duck to water, eradicating any concern about her ability to create success in the absence of Emma Hayes, and her side were worthy winners against an FC Twente side who are the dominant force in the Netherlands.

Still riding high after their London derby win over Arsenal in the WSL, the Blues proved once again why they are worthy contenders for the champions of Europe crown, coasting to victory thanks to goals from Aggie Beever-Jones, Maika Hamano and Guro Reiten.

How the game unfolded

Chelsea’s extra bit of class was evident from the first whistle, though their opening goal came in slightly fortuitous circumstances as Aggie Beever-Jones’ shot was deflected past Twente goalkeeper Olivia Clark after just seven minutes.

The Blues dominated the ball for much of the first half, with summer signing and France international Sandy Baltimore particularly impressive on the left wing, and their superiority was rewarded with a second goal just over ten minutes later.

Maika Hamano was the scorer, rifling a terrific dipping effort from long-range past the sprawling Clark.

Twente put Chelsea under pressure at times but lacked any real cutting edge in the final third, so it was no surprise when the visitors extended their lead further in the second half.

Substitute Mayra Ramirez was hauled down in the penalty area by Lieske Carleer, with Guro Reiten slotting home the subsequent penalty to put Chelsea 3-0 up.

Nikee van Dijk grabbed a consolation goal for Twente minutes later but despite the home side upping the ante in the final stages, Bompastor’s side eased over the line to follow up on the 3-2 win over Real Madrid on matchday one.

GK: Zecira Musovic – 7/10 – The Sweden international provided a safe pair of hands but could do nothing to prevent Van Dijk’s consolation.

RB: Eve Perisset – 7/10 – Making her first start of the season, Perisset looked fully up to speed and won five of her six ground duels.

CB: Kadeisha Buchanan (c) – 6/10 – The Canadian international was solid enough in the first 45 minutes before being replaced.

CB: Nathalie Bjorn – 8/10 – A classy display from the 27-year-old who never shies away from performing on the big stage.

LB: Ashley Lawrence – 7/10 – Regarded as one of the best full-backs in the world, Lawrence wasn’t overly tested here but put in a good showing.

CM: Wieke Kaptein – 7/10 – Looked at ease in the centre of midfield and rarely gave the ball away.

CM: Oriane Jean-François – 7/10 – Making her first start of the season, Jean-Francois completed 94% of her passes and recovered the ball eight times. Impressive and promising for the future.

CM: Maika Hamano – 8/10 – The Japan international’s first goal of the season was a superb strike and complemented a very fine display.

RW: Johanna Rytting Kaneryd – 7/10 – Caused plenty of problems for Twente’s backline with her creativity and decision making.

LW: Sandy Baltimore – 8/10 – Afforded a rest by Bompastor after an impressive 45 minutes work in which see saw plenty of the ball.

ST: Aggie Beever-Jones – 8/10 – Opened the scoring for Chelsea early on and led the line well as the WSL champions asserthed their dominance.

Substitutes

SUB: Guro Reiten (45′ for Baltimore) – 8/10 – Popped her penalty away with aplomb and was impressive on the left flank.

SUB: Maelys Mpome (45′ for Buchanan) – 6/10 – Made a couple of crucial tackles and blocks, also recovering the ball five times.

SUB: Mayra Ramirez (60′ for Kaneryd) – 7/10 – Won the penalty that helped Chelsea put the game beyond doubt.

SUB: Julia Bartel (60′ for Kaptein) – 6/10 – The quietest of Chelsea’s substitutes but still has plenty to learn.

Unused subs: Katie Cox (GK), Hannah Hampton (GK), Millie Bright, Sjoeke Nusken, Lucy Bronze

Manager

Sonia Bompastor – 8/10 – The Bompastor era is certainly proving to be an exciting one but the ex-Lyon manager must tighten up Chelsea’s backline as they progress further in the competition.
