Arsenal produced a battling performance at the Allianz Arena as they went down to a 1-0 defeat in their Women’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich.

Lea Schuller’s first-half header saw Bayern home, yet Arsenal will fancy their chances of turning the tie around in next week’s return.

They created a number of opportunities, being denied by goal-line clearances and the woodwork as Bayern ultimately did enough to record a 13th-successive victory in all competitions this season.

Arsenal, though, showed more than enough to suggest that a semi-final appearance for the first time since 2013 was not beyond them.

75 mins: It’s been near-constant attack from Arsenal in this second half, but Eidevall’s side are still searching for their first goal of this quarter-final tie. Defeat would be cruel after this second half performance.

It’s Wienroither’s last action, though, as Pelova comes on.
