Arsenal travelled to Germany to take on Wolfsburg in the second leg of their Women’s Champions League quarter-final and the German side won 2-0 on the night to triumph 3-1 on aggregate.
Former Arsenal player Jill Roord poked home from close range to put Wolfsburg ahead in the first half at the Volkswagen Arena and that advantage was doubled when Leah Williamson turned Sveindis Jonsdottir’s cross past Manuela Zinsberger for an own goal with 17 minutes to go.
The Gunners hit the bar through Vivianne Miedema shortly after that but were largely outplayed by their hosts and exited the Women’s Champions League at the last-eight stage.
In a closely-fought first-leg contest Tabea Wassmuth had given the Frauen-Bundesliga side the lead at the Emirates Stadium before Lotte Wubben-Moy’s late equaliser earned Arsenal a draw to leave them on level terms with their hosts halfway through the tie.
