Arsenal close in on Women's Champions League quarter-finals after win over Juventus

Arsenal have one foot in the Women's Champions League knockout stage after a narrow 1-0 win over Juventus.

Vivianne Miedema opened the scoring with a fine finish against the Italians, to ensure Jonas Eidevall's team remain unbeaten in Europe this season and stay top of a tricky looking Group C. The result means the Gunners are now five points clear of third-placed Juventus, with only two rounds of fixtures remaining.

It was a deserved three points for the Arsenal who controlled the majority of the contest against the Italian champions, particularly the first half. But they had to settle for one goal which made it a nervy ending, although Juventus rarely threatened bar a late free-kick from Valentina Cernoia.
