Arsenal coach left bewildered after "very weird experience" in Women's Champions League clash

The goals for Arsenal's Women's Champions League clash against Ajax on Wednesday were 'too small by 10 centimetres' and needed to be changed before kick off.

The Gunners were left baffled when they noticed the goals at the Sportpark De Toekomst were a peculiar size during the warm-up. As it turned out, they were too small and needed to be changed at the last minute - with further alterations required at half-time.

Despite the chaos, a second-half goal from forward Vivianne Miedema sealed a 1-0 win for Arsenal on the night and a 3-2 victory on aggregate. The Gunners will be one of 16 teams in the group stage of this season's Women's Champions League, along with Chelsea.
