With England facing Germany at Wembley on Friday - and with Mary Earps enduring a tough start to life at PSG - Hampton would have hoped for an unblemished copybook as she looks to target the Lionesses' No 1 shirt. Replays suggested she was hard done by. On the balance of probability, the ball did not cross the line, even if it bounced up rather awkwardly due to some fortuitous topspin.

Bomposter 'frustrated' by lack of action on technology in WSLGiven the increasingly fine margins in this increasingly competitive league, the incident will no doubt reignite the longstanding debate over whether it is time to introduce VAR - or goal line technology as a bare minimum - in the women's top flight. Sonia Bompastor, the Chelsea manager, gave a no-nonsense response when asked about it afterwards.

"The technology is available for the men's game," she said. "Why shouldn't it be the case for women? If we want to look more professional we need to move forward with the technology. Even if it's a hard decision for the referee, I think you have to be 100 per cent sure the ball is in. From Hannah's reaction, it looked doubtful. But I really liked the reaction of my players."

It turned out to be an eventful night for Nilden, who was at fault for Chelsea's opener 10 minutes and directed Guro Reiten's corner into her own net on the cusp of half time.
