Arsenal vs Wolfsburg LIVE: Women’s Champions League result and final score after late Lotte Wubben-Moy goal
Arsenal 1-1 Wolfsburg: Lotte Wubben-Moy cancelled out Tabea Wassmuth’s first-half header at the Emirates
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.

Here’s how things stand after the first legs in all four WCL quarter-finals:
Bayern Munich 1-2 Paris St-Germain
Real Madrid 1-3 Barcelona
Juventus 2-1 Lyon
Arsenal 1-1 Wolfsburg
If Arsenal do make it past Wolfsburg, they’ll play the winner of Real Madrid vs Barcelona in the semi-finals.
Arsenal 1 - 1 Wolfsburg
Jonas Eidevall’s changes did the trick for Arsenal. They came out in the second half as a different team, they pressed high, were quick to counter and more disciplined at the back.
They’ll fancy their chances in the second leg although Wolfsburg are a huge threat. They could have scored two or three themselves tonight despite having less of the ball.
Next week’s match in Germany so be a cracker.
Arsenal 1 - 1 Wolfsburg
Lotte Wubben-Moy equalises for Arsenal in the 89th minute at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal 1 - 1 Wolfsburg
What a game! It had almost everything bar a red card and a penalty. Wolfsburg twice hit the post, Arsenal had a goal disallowed, there was lat drama and after all that the teams couldn’t be separated.
That will happen in the second leg in Germany on 31st March.
Full-time: Arsenal 1 - 1 Wolfsburg
90+3 mins: No. The free kick was won on the halfway line and Arsenal tried to run it into the penalty area. Time runs out and the final whistle goes to end the game in a draw.
Lotte Wubben-Moy rescued the Gunners right at the end of the game to send them into the second leg on level terms. It was a fair result for the home side who didn’t deserve to lose.
Nothing to separate the two sides at the Emirates stadium.
Arsenal 1 - 1 Wolfsburg
90 mins: Three minutes of added time to play. Can Arsenal go on to win this game?
Tobin Heath is fouled by Joelle Wedemeyer who goes in the book. Will the Gunners knock this one into the box?
GOAL! Arsenal 1 - 1 Wolfsburg (Wubben-Moy, 89’)⚽️
89 mins: Arsenal are level! Vivianne Miedema wins a free kick deep in Wolfsburg’s half on the inside right. Tobin Heath takes it and slots a low pass into the middle of the box where Lotte Wubben-Moy leaves her marker, controls it with the outside of her right foot and rockets the ball into the back of the net! Great goal from the centre-back.
Arsenal 0 - 1 Wolfsburg
84 mins: More changes for Arsenal Beth Mead is replaced with Nikita Parris and Stina Blackstenius goes off for Frida Naanum.
Vivianne Miedema sees a bit of space open up on the edge of the box and goes for goal. Her effort is low and curling but Almuth Schult has it covered.
Arsenal 0 - 1 Wolfsburg
81 mins: Lovely run from Svenja Huth who weaves her way into the box from the left. She takes it around tow Arsenal defenders before squaring it into the six-yard area and having her pass intercepted by the outstretched leg of Manuela Zinsberger.
