Six English-based Matildas will feature in the group stages of the Women's Champions League after Arsenal and Manchester City both booked their places with emphatic wins.
Caitlin Foord and Kyra Cooney-Cross came off the bench for late second-half cameos on Thursday as Arsenal hammered BK Hacken 4-0 in the second leg of their potentially awkward qualifying tie to progress 4-1 on aggregate after their shock 1-0 loss in Sweden.
They were on long enough to help complete the job with a lovely 'made in Australia' goal, as Cooney-Cross rampaged through the middle, arrowed a fine ball down the left to Foord, who passed neatly inside for Norwegian striker Frida Maanum, another substitute, to slot home number four.
