Chelsea beat Atletico 2-0 in the first leg of their Women’s Champions League last-16 tie despite having Sophie Ingle sent off after just 12 minutes on Wednesday night.

A Maren Mjelde penalty and a smart Fran Kirby finish in the second half gave Emma Hayes’ side a valuable lead in their Women’s Champions League tie.

But the game began badly for Chelsea when Sophie Ingle gave away a penalty and was sent off after just 12 minutes.

However, Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger saved the spot-kick, and then repeated the feat late in the second half after she gave away her side’s second penalty.

The result makes Chelsea favourites to progress to the quarter-finals at the expense of Atletico, who are fourth in Spain’s Primera Division.
