Arsenal Women play peak Wenger-ball as stunning goals sees them reach UCL semis

talksport.com, 29 March 2023, 21:56

A truly stunning goal by Frida Maanum set Arsenal on their way to a triumph over Bayern Munich in the Women's Champions League.

The Gunners, who are now in the semi-finals for the first time since 2013, beat the German side 2-0 on the night and thus going through 2-1 on aggregate.

Maanum's opener levelled the scores on aggregate, but it was a goal worthy of winning any European tie.

Some lovely one-touch football from Arsenal left the Bayern defence spellbound in scenes that wouldn't have looked out of place during the men's teams peak years under Arsene Wenger.

Captain Leah Williamson teed up Maanum with a cheeky flick before the Norwegian brilliantly chipped the ball over Bayern goalkeeper Maria Luisa Grohs and into the net.

The strike had manager Jonas Eidevall on his feet at a rain-soaked Emirates Stadium while the vast majority of the 21,307 in attendance - a record crowd for an Arsenal Women's Champions League match - went wild.

That set the 15-time English champions on their way to a famous win with Sweden's Stina Blackstenius scoring the winner in the tie on 26 minutes.

Arsenal, who could still win a Champions League, Conti Cup and Women's Super League treble this season, will face the winners of the Paris Saint-Germain vs Wolfsburg tie in the last four.
