- After 20 minutes, Keira Walsh was forced off injured, creating a potential setback for Chelsea ahead of Sunday's WSL game against Arsenal at home.
- A vocal cluster of visiting Austria Vienna supporters serenaded the home side with "Champions of Austria, you'll never sing that" throughout the match at Plough Lane.
- Elsewhere in the Champions League, defending champions Barcelona defeated Paris 5-2, Lyon thrashed Servette 8-0, and OH Leuven drew 0-0 with Roma.
