Buchanan slammed home a late second goal for Chelsea tonight, seizing control from Roma in a Women’s Champions League showdown. It was a crucial strike that solidified their lead and undoubtedly put the rest of the league on high alert.

The action kicked off with Carpenter delivering an opener for Chelsea, setting the tone early. But it was Buchanan’s late effort that truly sealed the deal, giving Chelsea the outright advantage over Roma. That’s how you grab a lead, right? You don’t just get one, you bury a second to make a statement.

This result comes as both of these Women’s Super League teams had been sitting on four points after two games. So, this win is huge for Chelsea, separating them from Roma in what’s shaping up to be a tight Champions League race. Elsewhere in the competition, we’re still looking forward to Arsenal v Benfica following at 20:00 GMT. Plus, there’s news that Real Madrid’s match at Bayern Munich is still set to go ahead, even after that train collision in Madrid.

With Buchanan stepping up in a big way and Chelsea securing a vital lead, you know they’ll be riding high heading into their next Champions League fixture. The rest of Europe just got a taste of what Chelsea can do.
