It had looked far from certain after the first leg but Arsenal ensured there will be three Women’s Super League teams in the Champions League group stage for the first time with a comfortable victory over Häcken.
With Chelsea having secured a place as WSL champions and Manchester City 5-0 up on Paris FC from their away leg of their second round tie (an advantage converted into an 8-0 aggregate success on Thursday night), the pressure was on Arsenal to deliver, Jonas Eidevall’s side needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit.
