Chelsea FC Women Deliver Dominant 6-0 Victory Over St. Pölten in UEFA Women's Champions League

 Chelsea Football Club's women's team showcased their class with a resounding 6-0 win against St. Pölten in the UEFA Women's Champions League league phase at the NV Arena in Austria. The Blues maintained their unbeaten run in the competition, climbing the standings with a performance highlighted by clinical finishing and defensive solidity.

The scoring opened in the 13th minute when midfielder Wieke Kaptein slotted home after a well-worked move involving Erin Carpenter and Catarina Macario. Macario then doubled the lead just before halftime in the 44th minute with a composed low shot. Early in the second half, Macario converted a penalty in the 53rd minute after a foul on Aggie Beever-Jones, completing her brace.

Chelsea continued to press, with Australian striker Sam Kerr marking her first start since December 2023 by netting twice in the second half – a smart finish for the fourth and another to seal the sixth. Substitute Lauren James contributed to the fifth goal, her shot deflecting off St. Pölten's Leonie Ebert into the net. The hosts struggled to create chances, managing no significant threats as Chelsea controlled possession and generated multiple opportunities.

This result boosts Chelsea's goal difference in the league phase, where they now sit strongly positioned after a previous 4-0 win over Paris FC and a 1-1 draw with FC Twente. Head Coach Sonia Bompastor will be pleased with the squad rotation, including returns for key players like Kerr and James, as the team builds momentum in both European and domestic competitions.

Chelsea Women return to action in the Barclays Women's Super League on Sunday, November 16, against Liverpool at St Helens.

The club congratulates the team on a superb display and looks forward to continued success in the campaign.
