Emma Hayes’ side continued their search for European glory as they flexed their attacking pedigree at Johan Cruijff ArenA.
DAZN Women's Football / YouTube Ajax 0 Chelsea 3 SJOEKE NUSKEN SCORED her second brace in as many games as Chelsea beat Ajax 3-0 in the first leg of their Women’s Champions League quarter-final.
Chelsea took the lead after 19 minutes. James and Nusken, who had starred in the Blues’ 3-1 win over Arsenal in the Women’s Super League last week, combined again. The Blues thought they had doubled the lead through Guro Reiten but were denied after a lengthy VAR check. Reiten had impressed down the left flank all night and made another dangerous run before Chelsea doubled their lead.
