Lauren James scored twice to ensure Chelsea qualified as winners of their Champions League group, with Sam Kerr also on target in a 3-0 win against PSG
Emma Hayes wanted to finish the year with “a cracker for Christmas”, and the talismanic Sam Kerr and the young England star Lauren James provided the bang in a 3-0 defeat of Paris Saint-Germain that sent Chelsea into the Champions League quarter-finals as winners of Group A.
Hayes made four changes to the side that beat Vllaznia 4-0 last week. Bright, James, Eriksson and Erin Cuthbert all returned to the starting XI in place of Aniek Nouwen, Ève Périsset, Jessie Fleming and Jelena Cankovic.Photograph: Andrew Boyers/Action Images/Reuters Despite that, PSG are quality opposition. They lead Ligue 1 having recently beaten the dominant force of French and European football, Lyon – the Champions League holders and eight-time winners. And they did deliver the first meaningful effort on goal here, with Kadidiatou Diani seizing a loose ball muscled from the feet of James before cracking a shot off the crossbar from 40 yards out.
