Chelsea reached the quarter-finals of the Women's Champions League with two games remaining and remained perfect under Sonia Bompastor with a 3-0 win over Celtic.
Real Madrid's 3-2 win over Twente earlier on Wednesday meant Chelsea only needed to draw at Stamford Bridge to secure progression from Group B.
However, goals from Lucy Bronze, Wieke Kaptein and Eve Perisset helped the Blues to their 11th win in as many games under former Lyon boss Bompastor.
Just 65 seconds had passed when Bronze volleyed home from Catarina Macario's corner as Chelsea looked to enjoy a more comfortable outing after being forced to come from behind to win 2-1 at Celtic Park last week .
Another corner led to Chelsea's second goal in the 25th minute when Guro Reiten swung a beautiful ball in for Kaptein to look home.
The Blues dominated the rest of the way, scoring 25 shots to Celtic's three, and they added a third deep into stoppage time when substitute Perisset converted from 12 yards after Shannon McGregor's handball.
Bompastor's former club Lyon also secured a place in the knockout stages as four late goals saw them beat Roma 4-1 to seal qualification for Group A.
They only fell behind in the 77th minute through a goal from Roma substitute Giulia Dragoni, but two goals in less than two minutes Kadidiatou Diani turned the match on its head.
Substitute Eugenie Le Sommer added a third before Wendie Renard netted a fourth in stoppage time, with Lyon's superior head-to-head record ensuring they could no longer be overtaken by the Giallorosse.
