Victory in the Netherlands ensured the Blues maintained 100 percent record in the competition
Chelsea beat Dutch side Twente in their second group stage clash of the 2024/2025 UEFA Women's Champions League on Thursday night to move three points clear at the top of Group B .
Aggie Beever-Jones gave the Super League defending champions the lead 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.
The Blues made it 2-0 after 18 minutes as Maika Hamano's long-range lobbed shot caught Twente goalkeeper Olivia Clark off her line. Guro Reiten put the result beyond reach from the spot in the 63rd minute, rendering Nikee van Dijk's 68th minute strike a consolation.

Reece James sent off as Chelsea strengthen their hold on remaining Europa League position
Chelsea will be fighting for the remaining Europa League position, hoping Newcastle don't get ahead of them.
Chelsea are searching for their first Champions League title. They came closest to winning the trophy when they lost the 2021 finals under Emma Hayes' leadership.
With a home game against Tottenham on Sunday coming up in the WSL, Bompastor made seven changes to her side for midweek duty.
Chelsea hope that Lauren James, sister to Blues captain Reece, will be available for selection against Tottenham on Sunday. The forward was a last-minute exclusion due to an injury in the warmup.
