Manchester City eased into the last-16 of the Women's Champions League after a 4-0 win at Russia's Zvezda 2005 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 the Germans' Sara Bjork Gunnarsdottir cancelled out Eniola Aluko's first-half goal.

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. Abigail Harrison responded for part-timers Hibs before, in the second half, Vivien Miedema restored Bayern's advantage.
