When Chelsea were drawing with Roma at half-time and needed to find a goal from somewhere, Sonia Bompastor opted to bring on a defender instead of a striker.

The Australian scored within six minutes as Chelsea went on to win 2-0 and has made a key impact for the Blues on several occasions this season.
