Chelsea snatch PSG triumph to set up semi-final showdown with Lyon
PARIS, March 28 — Maren Mjelde fired Chelsea into the last four of the Women’s Champions League and a clash with all-conquering Lyon after her stoppage time strike saw them squeeze past Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 on aggregate yesterday.
The Parisiens were all over Chelsea in a dominant second-half display, and levelled the tie through Marie-Antoinette Katoto two minutes after the break and a comical own goal from Blues keeper Ann-Katrin Berger. France forward Le Sommer struck in the 60th and 80th minutes to send Lyon into the last four 6-3 on aggregate after Denmark striker Pernille Harder clawed dogged Wolfsburg back from an early 2-0 deficit with two goals in three second-half minutes.
