So far, Carpenter has made 10 appearances for her new team and scored her first goal for Chelsea in early November against London City Lionesses.
On Thursday, the 25-year-old achieved another milestone by netting her first Champions League goal for the Blues against Barcelona.
Just 10 minutes later, Barcelona responded with a goal from Ewa Pajor, who found the net with a close-range finish.
