Chelsea 1-0 Servette: Sam Kerr spares the Blues' blushes with crucial second-half strike to edge Emma Hayes' side a step closer to the Champions League quarter-finals

Chelsea Women edged closer to a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a 1-0 victory over Servette.

Sam Kerr's goal in the 67th minute was enough to secure a vital win which leaves them top of Group A, with just a point required from their final two fixtures against Juventus and Wolfsburg to secure their place in the quarter-finals.

This was not the vintage, ruthless and clinical Chelsea we saw in Geneva last week. The Blues thrashed their opponents 7-0 in the reverse fixture and were 6-0 up at half-time.
