Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall hits out at inconsistent VAR use in Champions League

Jonas Eidevall was left bemused by the lack of VAR in the UEFA Women's Champions League group stage following Arsenal's 1-0 defeat by Lyon.

The Gunners qualified for the last eight of the competition despite losing to the holders at Emirates Stadium, although the game was overshadowed by Vivianne Miedema going off with a serious-looking injury. Lyon's match-winning moment came just before Miedema went off, when Arsenal's Frida Maanum turned the ball into her own net after a goalmouth scramble.

But it was shrouded in controversy, with forward Melvine Malard standing in front of goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger in an offside position when Vanessa Gilles headed the ball across the goalmouth. Malard didn't touch the ball but did look to be potentially interfering with play during the move before Maanum inadvertently diverted the ball into her own net.
