Chelsea climbed to the top of their Women’s Champions League group with a 3-1 win over Twente on Thursday. The five-time defending English champions made it two victories from two in Group B, following their earlier triumph over Real Madrid. Rising star Agnes Beever-Jones opened the scoring with her first goal in the competition, followed by Maika Hamano’s long-range effort to catch Twente goalkeeper Olivia Clark off her line. Guro Reiten added a second-half penalty before Nikee van Dijk netted a late consolation for Twente.
