Arsenal draw blank as European run hits bump with Bayern defeat - five talking points

Arsenal came unstuck in their Women's Champions League quarter-final at Bayern Munich as they were edged out 1-0 a tight first leg, despite controlling large periods of the game.

The WSL title contenders were hoping to continue their superb run in Europe this season, but Bayern struck the first blow when Lea Schuller's powerful header found the net towards the end of the first-half. Arsenal did respond and were excellent after the break, but couldn't find the crucial goal.

Caitlin Foord was hugely unlucky to see her curling effort come back off the post, with Stina Blackstenius' header cleared off the line by Saki Kumagi. Leah Williamson also saw an effort cleared off the line. However, it is the German league runners-up who lead at half-time in the tie with a second leg at the Emirates to come next week.
