Arsenal seal Champions League last eight spot despite Lyon loss and huge injury blow

Arsenal suffered a major injury blow as they were beaten at home by Lyon in the Champions League - although their qualification for the last eight was confirmed.

The holders took the points after an own goal just before half-time from Frida Maanum but the game was overshadowed by what followed moments later. In worrying scenes, the Gunners' in-form Dutch star Vivianne Miedema was stretchered off clearly distressed, with players from both sides looking concerned, after she fell awkwardly stretching for a loose ball.

Arsenal will pray the injury is not too serious, which would be a major blow to the title-chasing Gunners, but they are facing an anxious wait, particularly after losing Beth Mead to an ACL injury only last month. And although the hosts regained their composure and were the better side after the break, they weren't able to find an equaliser.
