Arsenal blow away Bayern
Arsenal overcame a 1-0 first leg defeat to reach the last four for the first time in 10 years in front of a record crowd of over 20,000 for a Women's Champions League game in England
Despite the absence of injured star forwards Vivianne Miedema and Beth Mead, the Gunners blew Bayern away in the first half. Frida Maanum levelled the tie with a blistering strike in off the underside of the crossbar on 20 minutes.Moments later Arsenal led as Stina Blackstenius had the simple task of rounding off a brilliant team move with a header into an unguarded goal from Katie McCabe's cross. Only some wasteful finishing from Jonas Eidevall's side meant there was a nervy finale.Leah Williamson and Caitlin Foord missed glorious chances to extend the lead, while Lotte Wubben-Moy hit the crossbar. But Arsenal held out to extend Bayern's wait to win the competition. Chelsea hold the upper hand ahead of Thursday's blockbuster quarter-final clash after the English champions won 1-0 away to Lyon in the first leg. Wolfsburg also hold a 1-0 lead in the other quarter-final over Paris Saint-Germain ahead of the second leg in Germany.
