Chelsea maintained their 100% start to the season by beating Dutch side Twente to move three points clear at the top of Women’s Champions League Group B.
Aggie Beever-Jones gave the Blues a strong start in the Netherlands, scoring after seven minutes when she collected the ball from Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and sent a deflected 25-yard strike into the net.
It was 2-0 after 18 minutes as Maika Hamano’s long-range lobbed effort caught Twente goalkeeper Olivia Clark off her line, with the Wales international unable to recover in time.
Guro Reiten scored Chelsea’s third with a calmly taken penalty after fellow substitute Mayra Ramirez was tripped by Twente’s Lieske Carleer.
The hosts pulled one back in the 68th minute when Nikee van Dijk raced on to a pass from Ella Peddemors and shot past Zecira Musovic, but it was not enough to deny the visitors.
