Chelsea Extend Unbeaten Start With Win Over Roma

Chelsea kept their perfect start to the Women's Champions League intact with a 2-0 win over Roma. Goals from Ellie Carpenter and Kadeisha Buchanan were enough to settle the match, and the scoreline means Chelsea also kept a clean sheet against the Italian side.

Keeping an unbeaten record this early in the campaign gives Chelsea useful breathing room. Results in the first stages shape how teams are placed as the competition moves on, and a side that has not lost yet can afford to take a difficult result later without its position collapsing.

The fact that two different players found the net is also worth noting. Teams that can score from more than one source are harder to plan against, and Chelsea will hope to keep that balance as the fixtures come thick and fast.
