Chelsea’s aspiration of claiming this season’s Women’s Champions League was hardly in danger as Murphy Agnew handed Celtic a shock 22nd-minute lead.

Chelsea departed Glasgow’s east end with reputation intact. There was only a stoppage-time red card for Aggie Beever-Jones to irritate Sonia Bompastor. Beever-Jones had received two bookings, the first for re-entering the field without permission. Bompastor felt that situation “could have been avoided” by the match officials.
