    That was a really tidy finish and a jubilant celebration from a rising Scotland star who we expect to see big things from in France this summer.

    Erin Cuthbert was so, so cool in front of goal, from a tight angle.

    Karen Carney is back to her feet, although clearly remains in some discomfort. There should still be about another minute to play here.

    I'm not sure what's happened here, but Karen Carney is down in the middle of the park for Chelsea. She's going to need some treatment.

    BIG, BIG GOAL!

    Fran Kirby, on as a second-half substitute, is again the creator, jinking past a couple of challenges before squaring for Erin Cuthbert.

    Cuthbert takes a touch to steady herself before place the ball through the goalkeeper's legs.

    Can Paris Saint-Germain muster anything late on here?

    Ashley Lawrence tries to work some more magic down the left, but Hannah Blundell this time reverts to her day job and does some excellent defensive work to snuff out the danger.

    What a cracking curler in to the corner. Keeper Christiane Endler was nowhere near it.

    It's only Hannah Blundell's third goal of the season, but it's a big one.

    Right then, where does that leave the tie?

    It definitely leaves PSG in need of an away goal, else they'll be under a heap of pressure in the second leg.

    The deadlock is broken!

    After some good work from Fran Kirby, Hannah Blundell cuts inside and curls a brilliant left-footed effort into the far corner, leaving goalkeeper Christiane Endler rooted to the spot.

    A big, big goal for the Blues.
