Phil Neville watches Manchester City women take control of Champions League quarter-final as Chelsea also edge closer to semi-finals with win

England women's manager Phil Neville watched on as Manchester City eased aside Sweden's Linkoping with a 2-0 win on Wednesday in the UEFA Women's Champions League quarter-final first leg.

Goals from Nikita Parris and Jane Ross put City in control of the tie ahead of next week's second leg on a night that also saw Chelsea seize control as they left Montpellier with a 2-0 win.

Ji So-yun and substitute Erin Cuthbert were on target for the Blues as they return to London with one eye on the semi-finals.
