Chelsea took on Juventus in Turin on Wednesday 13 October 2021 and came away with a 2-1 win and three important points if they are to make it through to the next stages. Erin Cuthbert kicked off the scoring after 31 minutes of play before Barbara Bonasea equalised for Juventus just six minutes later.
