Jonas Eidevall had said he wanted to see a “complete performance” from his depleted Arsenal in their Champions League semi‑final first leg at Wolfsburg. A litany of errors that allowed Ewa Pajor to slot in the German side’s first goal and horrifically gifted Sveindís Jane Jónsdóttír a second inside 24 minutes was perhaps as far from a complete performance as you could get.
Instead, Eidevall had to settle for a battling and smart comeback, and goals from Rafaelle Souza on the stroke of half-time and Stina Blackstenius in the second half mean his side welcome Wolfsburg to the Emirates Stadium on Monday 1 May well and truly in the tie with the score level at 2-2.
