Late goals give Chelsea edge against PSG in first leg

Hannah Blundell and Erin Cuthbert scored late goals as Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 on Thursday in the first leg of their Women's Champions League quarter-final.

Blundell curled Chelsea ahead with a brilliant left-foot shot with 17 minutes left in London before Cuthbert slotted home a second just before full-time.

Scotland midfielder Cuthbert will miss next week's return leg in France though after she was booked in stoppage time.

Chelsea reached the semi-finals last season before losing to Wolfsburg, while PSG finished as runners-up in 2015 and 2017.
