Chelsea 6-1 Twente: Sonia Bompastor's dominant side flex their muscle at Stamford Bridge to all but secure Champions League Group B

Although Sonia Bompastor's side is in first place in the group, their position could still be overtaken by second-placed Real Madrid. The two teams are set to face off in the final fixture of the group stage in mid-December. However, if Bompastor's team manages to avoid defeat in that game, they will secure the top spot in the group.

A heavily-rotated Chelsea steamrolled their Dutch visitors at Stamford Bridge, stealing the lead within the first two minutes via Catarina Macario, and they never looked back.

Twente did draw themselves momentarily level from the penalty spot as Maika Hamano's mistake was punished by Kayleigh van Dooren, but parity lasted fewer than 60 seconds.

Oriane Jean-Francois was next to jink her way onto the scoresheet, before Mayra Ramirez lobbed Olivia Clarke - caught hopelessly off her line - and Erin Cuthbert added a fourth.

Chelsea were less ruthless after the break - Twente have now conceded 19 goals in this year's campaign - but Sjoeke Nusken did glance a deft header inside the post from Hamano's perfectly weighted delivery, and Eve Perisset added a late sixth from a corner.

The Blues, on a remarkable 14-game winning run under Bompastor, have already secured automatic qualification but are now well-placed to progress to the last eight as group winners.

Analysis: Chelsea fear factor even greater than before

' Laura Hunter:

So slick, and so smooth. This Chelsea side are going to take some beating this season, and it'll be interesting, as the competition progresses and they meet teams with greater quality, how deep they can go. This is the one trophy to evade Emma Hayes, and it'll sting if Sonia Bompastor delivers it in her first season in charge.

I see no reason why they can't. Twente are an inexperienced team with defensive shortcomings - unsurprising given no player was over the age of 25 - but the way Chelsea took advantage was brutal. No messing, all business. And this was a Chelsea selection made up of seven changes, with key attacking players sat on the bench.

Chelsea carry the fear factor this season, perhaps even more so than any campaign previous, and such commanding results will have caught the attention of those that usually challenge for continental honours, including the holders.

Barcelona beware.

What's next?

Chelsea have two more fixtures before the winter break. They travel to Leicester in the WSL on Sunday, kick-off 12pm. The Blues finish with a trip to Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday December 17 to round off their group stage campaign.
