Kirby double sets up semi-final clash with Wolfsburg

Chelsea took another step closer to Champions League glory last night with a 3-1 second-leg quarter-final win over Montpellier HSC to win the tie 5-1 on aggregate.

Fran Kirby opened the scoring on four minutes after latching onto a misplaced pass on the edge of the Montpellier box, allowing the forward a one-on-one with Casey Murphy. 

There wasn’t a person inside Kingsmeadow that thought the Blues striker would do anything other than put the ball in the back of the net and she duly dispatched the left-footed shot past Murphy.
