Chelsea stormed to Champions League victory with a 7-0 mauling of Swiss side Servette to top Group A.

Chelsea quickly charged ahead when Millie Bright found Melanie Leupolz on the edge of the area just eight minutes in. The German's first touch took her beyond the defender as she cut inside to unleash a clinical shot beyond Ines Pereira in goal.   

Emma Hayes's side swiftly took a firm control of the game as they scored three within four minutes just before the 20 minutes mark. 


Sam Kerr, with her back to goal, flicked the ball on to Fran Kirby to set her free. The England forward then fired a powerfully struck low shot to beat Pereira. Kerr bagged a double of her own goal as Kirby returned the favour from earlier.

The Blues unbelievably went a full six minutes without a goal but Jessie Fleming soon found an unmarked Kirby in the box who slipped it home for her second. Fleming added another of her own before the break.

Chelsea picked up the second-half as they left off with an attacking rampage as Guro Reiten scored for their seventh of the night.
