The Blues made a fast start to the contest at Stamford Bridge as Lucy Bronze netted the opener inside two minutes. Wieke Kaptein doubled our advantage midway through the first half with a well-taken header and our dominance was reflected in the final scoreline when Eve Perisset converted a penalty kick in the dying seconds.

Victory over the Scottish champions has ensured at least a second-place finish in Group B, which guarantees us a spot in the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League. Yet with matches against FC Twente and Real Madrid still to come, topping the group will remain the focus for Bompastor and her players.

However, there was still plenty of reason to celebrate at Stamford Bridge tonight, especially given our winning run in all competitions now stands at eleven matches.

'Really happy,' Bompastor replied in her post-match press conference when asked how she felt after the win. 'I told the players before the game tonight that it was an opportunity for us to qualify for the quarter-finals, and we did that.

'We also remain top of the table, which is also something we want to make sure we achieve. It's great news that we were able to rotate the squad and give opportunities to some players to play a Champions League game again. We could rest some players thinking about the Manchester United game [on Sunday]."

Bompastor continued: 'As a club, it's always important to make sure after four games you have this opportunity to qualify. That's perfect.

'Even if you saw last week and tonight, not everything was perfect in the performance, but in the result, we are in a good place. It's good because it brings a lot of confidence and it's important for us to continue our run. So, lots of positives.'

Another one of those positives was the maiden Chelsea outing of 17-year-old Brown, who signed her first professional contract with the club on Monday.

'It's a special week for her individually, but also for the club,' Bompastor said. 'I'm really pleased for her and the opportunity for her to come in, especially in a Champions League game.

'She's been training with us and I can see her talent, even if she is young. She's really dynamic as a player, really smart, and really good with the ball. She will progress and this experience tonight will bring her a lot of joy and a lot of confidence.

'As a manager, I worked a lot with the young players, especially when I was at the academy with Lyon, and it's also something special for me when I can give an opportunity to a young player to come in and show themselves. It's really good and shows the good job that the club is doing with young players.'

Bompastor made six changes to her starting XI for tonight's game and believes such rotation is vital given the demands placed on her squad.

'It's been my mindset from the beginning of the season,' Bompastor explained. 'We play so many games and have to make sure everyone is involved. It's also the opportunity for me to show my trust in the players and the squad.

'It's important because it's not possible for a player to play 90 minutes every three days, especially with a lot of international players who play for their national team and club and travel all around the world. I think that's the way it has to be.'

And not only does our head coach believe it is vital to rotate the squad, she also wants those within her team to gain experience in differing roles.

Bompastor added: 'It's really important because, first of all, the players need to be able to adapt and also be flexible on the pitch. It gives us the possibility during the games and depending on who we're playing to change the system and organisation.

'When you play always the same way, you are more predictable and for the opposition it is easier to analyse and for them to see how to block you. Having these different options, it's good for the players and for me as a manager.'
