Millie Bright seals PSG win but "fantastic" Chelsea Women's team-mate takes the plaudits

Millie Bright scored the only goal of the game as Chelsea started their Champions League campaign with a win away at Paris Saint-Germain - but it was team-mate Erin Cuthbert who took the plaudits.

The hosts lacked any real attacking threat and barely gave the crowd in the Stade Jean-Bouin anything to cheer about with only one shot in total and none on target in the first 45 minutes. It wouldn't have been a surprise if Chelsea had scored more.

Scottish star Cuthbert was the leader of the Blues’ attack and it was her awareness that led to Bright’s goal as she recovered the ball after the Paris defence had blocked the preceding corner. With Emma Hayes still recuperating from her emergency hysterectomy; her trusted duo of Debbie Reddy and Paul Green remained in the dugout and the latter singled Cuthbert out for praise in his post-match press conference.
