Chelsea Women delivered a dominant performance, routing FC Twente 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in a UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage match. The victory, their fifth in five Champions League matches this season, maintained their flawless record in the competition and underscored their impressive form under new manager Sonia Bompastor. The Blues wasted no time asserting their dominance, taking the lead within the first two minutes through Catarina Macario, who capitalized on a blocked shot to loft the ball over Twente goalkeeper Olivia Clark. Despite a missed opportunity by Erin Cuthbert shortly after, Chelsea continued to press forward.

FC Twente briefly leveled the score at 1-1 with a penalty from Kayleigh van Dooren after a foul on Charlotte Hulst. However, Chelsea’s response was immediate and emphatic. Oriane Jean-Francois restored the lead just a minute later with a near-post effort that deflected off a Twente defender. The goals kept coming for Chelsea. Mayra Rodriguez added a spectacular long-range strike, capitalizing on Clark being off her line, and an own goal from Anna Knol, under pressure from Cuthbert, extended the lead to 4-1 before halftime. Twente’s attempts to play out from the back repeatedly backfired, leading to several of Chelsea’s goals.

The second half saw Chelsea maintain their relentless pressure. Substitute Sjoeke Nusken headed home just two minutes after the restart, further solidifying Chelsea’s control of the match. The Blues continued to create numerous chances, displaying fluid attacking play and overwhelming Twente’s defense. Eve Perisset capped off the resounding victory with a well-taken goal in the 85th minute, sealing the 6-1 scoreline and emphasizing Chelsea’s comprehensive dominance.

This commanding performance has placed Chelsea in a strong position to secure top spot in Group B. They now go into their final group match against Real Madrid knowing that a draw would be sufficient. For FC Twente, this heavy defeat marks another difficult result in a challenging Champions League campaign. The Dutch side struggled to contain Chelsea’s attacking prowess and paid the price for errors at the back.

Since taking the reins from Emma Hayes, Sonia Bompastor has overseen a remarkable run of success at Chelsea. Her team has won all 14 matches across all competitions, further highlighting their imperious form. Their Champions League campaign has been particularly impressive, with 16 goals scored in five matches, averaging over three goals per game. This ruthless efficiency in front of goal, coupled with a solid defensive foundation, has propelled them to the top of both the Women’s Super League and their Champions League group.

Among the standout performers for Chelsea, Erin Cuthbert shone brightly. Her dynamism in midfield, creativity on the ball, and tenacious defensive work made her a constant threat to Twente. Cuthbert’s involvement in several key moments, including the fourth goal, cemented her as a deserving player of the match. Her performance epitomized Chelsea’s overall display – energetic, incisive, and ultimately, unstoppable. Several other Chelsea players also delivered strong performances, showcasing the squad’s depth and quality. This comprehensive victory serves as a clear statement of intent from Chelsea, signifying their ambition to compete for top honors both domestically and in Europe. The manner of their performance suggests that they are well-equipped to meet these challenges under the guidance of their new manager.
