If Lyon is to add to its record eight Women's Champions League titles, stunning goals like that scored by 21-year-old forward Melchie Dumornay on Wednesday will help.

Dumornay's 45-yard meter chipped shot from the center circle to beat Roma goalkeeper Camelia Ceasar was the standout moment of a 3-0 win in a clash of two unbeaten teams in Group A.

Haiti international Dumornay also had opened the scoring six minutes earlier in the 36th to help lift Lyon to three straight wins and no goals conceded as it seeks a first Champions League title since 2022.

Chelsea coach Sonia Bompastor, who led Lyon to that Champions League title three seasons ago, now has a perfect record of nine wins in nine games in her debut season with her new club.

Celtic pushed Chelsea hard Wednesday, and the 2021 beaten finalist had to rally for a 2-1 win in Glasgow.
