Chelsea produced the perfect response to their first defeat of the season with a comeback 2-1 win against Manchester City.

The Blues were beaten for the first time in all competitions in midweek, as Vivianne Miedema struck twice to help City to a 2-0 win in the first leg of their Champions League tie.

It looked like City would make it two wins in a row when Kerolin marked a stellar first half with a goal just after the half-hour mark.
