Maren Mjelde pounced in the last minute to send Chelsea Women back into the Champions League semi-finals after an extraordinary night at the Stade Jean Bouin in Paris.

Paris St Germain - roared on by around 600 of their Ultras in a crowd approaching five figures - hauled themselves back from a two-goal first leg deficit and even looked set to clinch the tie in normal time.

But just when Chelsea seemed to be content to cling on for an extra 30 minutes, Norwegian international Mjelde drilled a low shot past Christiane Endler to secure a 3-2 aggregate victory and spark jubilation among the small contingent of travelling fans.

Emma Hayes' side had been totally outclassed by their opponents, who grabbed a second-half lead on the night through Kadidiatou Diani before a howler by Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger pulled them level on aggregate.

Fears of crowd trouble had overshadowed the build-up to the game after a coachload of PSG fans were intercepted before the first leg in London and found to be in possession of weapons and drugs.
