Lotte Wubben-Moy scored a late equaliser to leave Arsenal’s Women’s Champions League quarter-final tie with Wolfsburg in the balance after a 1-1 draw at the Emirates.

Defender Wubben-Moy seized upon a free kick from Tobin Heath before thrashing a shot past the Wolfsburg goalkeeper to give Arsenal a deserved equaliser in the 89th minute.

It looked as if the Gunners would be frustrated after Tabea Wassmuth’s first-half header gave Wolfsburg the lead, and the visitors had further chances as Wassmuth hit the post in the second half.

Stina Blackstenius and Beth Mead missed opportunities for Arsenal but Wubben-Moy’s late strike finally levelled the scores ahead of next week’s second leg, which is set to take place after Saturday’s north London derby against Tottenham.

Arsenal vs Wolfsburg

Arsenal captain, Kim Little, says she wants he team be mindful of their performances in this competition last season and prepare for a different kind of game against Wolfsburg tonight.

Little says the Gunners are in good form and hope to bring that onto the pitch tonight. She said:

We are in a good place with our performances and results in the past few months. But the Champions League is a very different competition and we need to be aware of that.

“Our Champions League performances at the end of last year weren’t good enough and we need to be mindful of that and the different sort of game that the Wolfsburg game will be.

“We have to be mindful of upping our performance. We are very aware of their physicality and their ability to play in a high line in the top games.”

Arsenal vs Wolfsburg

Arsenal are the only English quarter-finalists. It’s a familiar feeling for the Gunners as since the expansion to multiple national entries in 2009/10, they have been the sole English team in the last eight on five occasions, most recently in the 2019/20 season.

Wolfsburg boss on playing in big games

Wolfsburg boss Tommy Stroot says that the standard of play goes up a level in big games such as tonight’s Champions League quarter-final and used Wolfsburg’s 4-0 hammering of Chelsea in December as his example. He said:

"We played Chelsea and we saw how high the level was, it’s all about individual quality in pretty much every position and they got some new players in the winter break. We have to be very careful.

"These are the moments why we do all this - great teams, great atmosphere."
