A two-page picture spread covering the Champions League and the international window. The UWCL round-up charts Chelsea’s progress to a first ever quarter-final, Fran Kirby opening the scoring in a 3-0 win over FC Rosengard at Kingsmeadow before Ji So-yun’s finish, congratulated by Crystal Dunn, sealed a 1-0 win in Malmo for a 4-0 aggregate; the quarter-final draw sends Chelsea to Montpellier and pairs Manchester City with Linkoping, Wolfsburg with Slavia Praha and Lyon with Barcelona ahead of the final in Kyiv. The facing page marks England’s two 2019 World Cup qualifiers in November 2017 under interim head coach Mo Marley, nine goals scored without reply: Steph Houghton scored twice against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nikita Parris three across both games, with full debuts for Mel Lawley, Keira Walsh and Jess Carter. Marie Hourihan starred in the Republic of Ireland’s goalless draw in the Netherlands.
