Chelsea need at least a draw in their final Women’s Champions League group game at Wolfsburg to guarantee progress to the quarter-finals after being held to a goalless draw by Juventus.

Kerr also had a second-half effort ruled out for offside as Juve held on.

The result maintains Juve’s own hopes of advancing.

The point at Kingsmeadow against the Italian champions came just three days after Emma Hayes’ side beat Arsenal in the the delayed 2020-21 Women’s FA Cup final at Wembley.

Juventus boss Joe Montemurro was still Arsenal boss when they started that FA Cup campaign in April.

The Australian took charge of the Italian giants in the summer, guided them through Champions League qualification and has them in contention to advance to the knockout stage after the hard-fought draw against Chelsea.

Juve remain second in the group, level on points with Wolfsburg, and next face winless Swiss champions Servette.

The visitors swamped Peyraud-Magnin to celebrate the draw after the French goalkeeper made a series of saves to help earn the point.

She did enough early on to foil Cuthbert with the help of the woodwork, and produced the moment of the match to keep Millie Bright out with a diving save before the break.

Kerr almost beat the inspired keeper with a wayward cross that drifted on to the bar in the first half, but it was a frustrating night for the Australian and the her team-mates after they had 71% possession and racked up 25 shots to Juventus’ two.
