Wednesday 12 October 2016 20:34, UK
Manchester City progressed into the last 16 of the Women's Champions League after a 4-0 second-leg win over Russian side Zvezda secured a 6-0 aggregate victory.
First-half goals from Jennifer Beattie and Lucy Bronze, followed by further second-half finishes again from Beattie and then Isobel Christiansen, inflicted a first home Champions League defeat on the Russians since 2009.
Chelsea fell to a 4-1 aggregate defeat by Wolfsburg after a 1-1 away draw, which came after Sara Bjork Gunnarsdottir cancelled out Eniola Aluko's first-half goal for the visitors.
There was also a convincing aggregate defeat for Hibernian, whose 4-1 loss at Bayern Munich ensured a 10-1 scoreline over the two legs.
Two first-half goals from Anna Gerhardt and another from Lisa Evans gave the hosts a 3-0 lead in Germany. Abigail Harrison responded for part-timers Hibs before, in the second half, Vivianne Miedema restored Bayern's advantage.
