Arsenal overturned a one-goal deficit to book a place in the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2013 after goals from Frida Maanum and Stina Blackstenius inspired a sensational 2-0 win over Bayern Munich at Emirates Stadium.
The Frauen-Bundesliga leaders held a 1-0 first-leg lead over the Gunners thanks to a Lea Schuller header, but the resurgent Londoners delivered a far more ruthless and clinical display on home turf, scoring twice within the first 25 minutes.
Maanum opened the scoring by firing a stunner into the top left hand corner of Maria Luisa Grohs’ net (20), teed up by an instinctive Leah Williamson flick, before a determined Katie McCabe beat her defender and dinked a cross towards Blackstenius to finish with a towering header (26).
Jonas Eidevall’s side, who were utterly dominant throughout but spurned several gilt-edged chances to make the scoreline more comfortable, will now face either PSG or Wolfsburg for a place in the Champions League final on June 3.
