Arsenal, Man City Into Last Eight Of Women’s Champions League
Arsenal and Manchester City have made it a trio of English sides in the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-finals after following Chelsea through.
Group C: Vålerenga 1-1 Bayern Munich, Arsenal 1-0 Juventus
Group D: Hammarby 1-2 Manchester City, St. Pölten 1-4 Barcelona
Lina Hurtig came off the bench to grab an 89th-minure winner for Arsenal against Juventus.
Caitlin Foord, Frida Maanum and Leah Williamson were among those to pass up good opportunities for the Gunners, while Daphne van Domselaar tipped an Arianna Caruso effort round the post.
Hurtig was unable to take her first chance at getting the breakthrough goal but made the most of the second.
Vålerenga held Bayern Munich in the other Group C game, Elise Thorsnes with an 88th-minute equaliser after Jovana Damnjanovic had scored barely a dozen minutes earlier.
Khadija Shaw struck twice as Manchester City made it four wins from four, in front of over 20,000 in Hammarby, a record crowd for a Swedish women’s club match.
She capped a breakaway move with a deflected shot that looped over a helpless goalkeeper in Anna Tamminen and into the net, for an interval lead.
Ellen Wangerheim levelled from a cross into the six-yard box very early in the second half, only for Shaw to swiftly restore the lead with a rocket shot from the edge of the area.
Khiara Keating then made a great double save to keep City ahead.
Also in Group D, Barcelona won 4-1 away to St. Pölten where Kika Nazareth struck twice before the half-hour mark. Vicky López quickly added the third, Alexia Putellas netting close to the hour and Valentina Mädl pulling one back.
