Here’s Suzanne Wrack’s match report. With the YouTube coverage having very much finished, I’m going to sign off with this. Bye!
The smile said it all. Lifelong Arsenal fan Lotte Wubben-Moy’s equaliser late on salvaged a 1-1 draw against Wolfsburg in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final and she beamed widely. Tabea Wassmuth had given the relaxed German side a first-half lead but Wubben-Moy’s strike, in her first start at the Emirates, ensured that Arsenal will travel to the Wolfsburg Arena next week with the tie level.
Much more here:
The scoreline looks uninspiring, but this was a good game that should have had a few more goals, with both sides carrying a strong attacking threat. According to Uefa Arsenal had 40 “attacks” to Wolfsburg’s 15, though I’ve no idea how they define an attack. They definitely had 15 shots to their opponents’ 10, and failed to take several chances. But they will also know that Wassmuth had a fantastic chance to swing the tie heavily in Wolfsburg’s favour only to shoot against the post. Still anyone’s quarter-final!
