Celtic have stunned Chelsea in the UEFA Women's Champions League, taking a shock 1-0 lead in their opening Group C match.

Shen broke the deadlock in the 12th minute, firing home from close range after a scramble in the Chelsea defence. Harrison then doubled Celtic's lead in the 19th minute, heading in from a corner.

Chelsea have struggled to create clear-cut chances so far, with Celtic goalkeeper Kelly making a number of comfortable saves.

The result is a major upset, with Chelsea the reigning WSL champions and one of the favourites for the Champions League title. Celtic, meanwhile, are making their debut in the competition.
