Manchester City goalscorer Kerstin Casparij, speaking to Disney+ about how she feels after the win: "Good, good. Feels good. Inter played well, so this is not an easy game, especially away, so very pleased with the three points.

"I think the team feels really great. Two wins on the bounce makes us feel great going into Chelsea, which again will be a tough game. After that, Hacken away will be tough as well and then Tottenham at home. We've got our work cut out for us and we know what we need to bring, especially today starting with a few rotations and I think we did phenomenally, so it's a team effort, so I'm very pleased."

On what they want to achieve in the Champions League this season: "First, let's get through to the knockout stages and we will go from there."

Time and time again Lauren Hemp is a nightmare for any full-back.

It's a strange goal because it's a good finish from Grace Clinton because it looked like it went behind the goal. Everyone stopped and time stood still.

I'm pleased for Clinton because since she joined City it hasn't really gone to plan.

With the World Cup coming up next year, there's lots of players who have something to prove to get a place in the squad.

England midfielder Laura Blindkilde Brown is one of those players and that assist for Aoba Fujino's first goal will surely impress Sarina Wiegman.

Of course, the Lionesses still have to qualify for Brazil 2027.

More like Chelsea need a top, top manager to reach the next level, club has been in decline since Hayes left and Bompastor has completely decimated the team, Reiten, Kerr, Carter, etc, all doing brilliant for Gotham in the states!!!!

Absolutely shambolic performance by us tonight. No creativity, lacking in ideas, wasteful in possession and absolutely horrendous finishing . Sonia better fix up or she will get the sack if this lifeless style of play continues.

Khadija Shaw and Lauren Hemp have been tearing it up for Manchester City this season, but the pair have been forgotten on the FifPro Women's World XI shortlist.

Shaw is the WSL's top scorer this season with 12 goals in nine games and she was voted third in this year's Ballon d'Or ceremony, while Hemp has scored five and assisted six in the WSL this season.

The 26-player shortlist was voted for by players from around the world and is the only award decided solely by fellow footballers.

But have the players made a mistake by not including Shaw or Hemp? And who else do you think should have - or shouldn't have - made the shortlist?

Thought Peng was a little too far out and that's what Selerud saw, the opportunity to lob her.

But she didn't get enough height on it.

Peng uses that agility and power to dive and push it around.

A little bit of a let-off.

Manchester City manager Andree Jeglertz makes four changes to the side that thrashed West Ham in the Women's Super League on Saturday.

Gracie Prior comes in for Rebecca Knaak and Sam Coffey replaces Yui Hasegawa.

Lauren Hemp and Bunny Shaw make way for Grace Clinton and Iman Beney.

City XI: Yamashita, Wamser, Prior, Rose, Casparij, Coffey, Blindkilde Brown, Fujino, Clinton, Beney, Fowler.

Subs: Burdon, Cumings, Hasegawa, Hemp, Knaa, Lewis, Lohmann, Shaw, Shimizu, Walker.

Inter XI: Runarsdottir, van Diemen, Andres, Milinkovic, Bartoli, Robustellini, Vilhjálmsdóttir, Tomasevic, Glionna, Bugeja, Polli.

Subs: Belli, Bressan, Cambiaghi, Detruyer, Forcinella, Giudici, Kullberg, Payne, Raphino, Santi.

Chelsea really caught Hacken on the back foot. It was lovely build up play.

But could Ellie Carpenter have pulled the trigger first time?

Taking that touch gave the defenders a chance to close down, the angle gets tighter. Chance gone.

Sonia Bompastor has made six changes to her side following the 1-1 draw against Everton in the WSL at the weekend.

Livia Peng replaces Hannah Hampton between the sticks. Defensive duo Nathalie Bjorn and Veerle Buurrman come in for Kadeisha Buchanan and Katie McCabe.

Lexi Potter takes Erin Cuthbert's place in midfield and in attack Sjoeke Nusken and Alyssa Thompson replace Sandy Baltimore and Manaka Matsukubo.

Chelsea XI: Peng, Carpenter, Bronze, Bjorn, Buurman, Potter, Walsh, Nusken, Thompson, Kaptein, Malard

Substitutes: Hampton, Spencer, Cuthbert, Baltimore, McCabe, Beever-Jones, Matsukubo, Dragoni, Buchanan, Brown, Hamano, Las

Hacken XI: Falk, McBride, Ostlund, Luik, Rybrink, Palmadottir, Matriano, Sanvig, Karlsson, Olvestad, Bodin

Substitutes: Omewa, Anvegard, Sandberch, Selerud, Chinzimu, Akgun, Fossdalsa, Tindell, Staaf, Ayinde, Karisson
