When you strike it as well as Melanie Leupolz, there's always going to be problems! @ChelseaFCW break the deadlock just before half-time! #ContiCup pic.twitter.com/09eoVhlYkr

After a tough first-half on both ends of the pitch in the Continental Cup quarter-final against Manchester City, Chelsea finally find a breach to break the scoreline open in our favour. The hosts do not do a good job defending Erin Cuthbert’s free kick into their penalty box, and the ball falls at the feet of Melanie Leupolz. A powerful shot from the midfielder is the opener for the Blues just a few minutes before half-time.
