Arsenal Women ratings as Gunners edged out by Lyon but qualify for Champions League final eight

Vivianne Miedema has become Arsenal's latest injury nightmare after she was stretchered off during a 1-0 defeat to Lyon in the UEFA Women's Champions League tie at the Emirates.

Despite the defeat and serious injury blow, the result does mean Arsenal can't finish any lower than second in Group C and have qualified for the last eight of the competition. The defending champions' claimed all three points thanks to an own goal from Frida Maanum right on the stroke of half-time.

Arsenal were the better side for long periods of the tie, but chances remained at a premium. However, they will have the chance to end 2022 on a winning note when they face Zurich next week in their final group game.
