Maren Mjelde's stoppage-time strike ensured Chelsea Women reached the Champions League semi-finals, securing a 3-2 aggregate win over Paris Saint-Germain Women.
Chelsea FC lost 2-1 in the second leg after seeing the two-goal cushion from last Thursday's home tie wiped out in Paris through a strike from Kadidiatou Diani (47) and a disastrous own goal from Ann-Katrin Berger (56).
It appeared Emma Hayes' side would succumb to a PSG onslaught in the French capital, but on an extraordinary night at the Stade Jean Bouin in Paris, Mjelde popped up in stoppage time (90+1) to send the Blues through to face tournament favourites Lyon in the last four.
The Blues seized the initiative by winning the first leg 2-0 at Kingsmeadow last week, courtesy of second-half goals from Hannah Blundell and Erin Cuthbert.
