Chelsea continued their superb start in the Women's Champions League by thrashing Albanian side Vllaznia 8-0 on Wednesday.

More than 3,000 fans at Kingsmeadow watched Sam Kerr score four goals, while Pernille Harder netted a hat-trick. 

Midfielder Guro Reiten recorded four assists.

The result came six days after Chelsea had started their Group A campaign with a 1-0 away win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Vllaznia were cheered on by 420 away fans in London.

Despite their team being overwhelmed on the pitch, the Vllaznia supporters made more than their fair share of noise in the stands, cheering every Chelsea miss.

Kerr thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere created.

"I loved it," she told BBC Sport. "I thought it was awesome. I thought about stirring them up but didn't want them to take it the wrong way.

"I think that's what makes football so great. When I scored the second goal down there, I was thinking about it… I thought they were excellent."
