Chelsea ensured they qualified automatically for the Women's Champions League quarter-finals as they came from behind to beat Wolfsburg.
Goals from Lucy Bronze and Sam Kerr secured the win that gave Chelsea a top-four finish in the league phase.
But it certainly was not easy for the Blues as Wolfsburg were the better side for much of the first half and deservedly took the lead in the 16th minute.
A poor clearance by Chelsea goalkeeper Livia Peng was nodded back towards goal by Janou Levels and Alexandra Popp let the ball bounce in front of her before striking in on the half-volley.
Wolfsburg had chances to further extend their lead but were dealt a blow just before half-time when Bronze equalised, heading in from a corner.
The balance of play switched after that with Chelsea the better side in the second half.
They hit the post through Alyssa Thompson, and Kerr secured the win with a looping header.
The draw for the Women's Champions League quarter-finals takes place on Thursday, 18 December (12:00 GMT)
