Arsenal edged a step closer to Champions League qualification with a 3-0 victory over Swedish side Linkoping.
After a frustrating first half which saw captain Kim Little miss a penalty, second half goals from Caitlin Foord, Lina Hurtig and Stina Blackstenius ensured the Gunners’ progression.
Jonas Eidevall’s side have been forced to take the long route to the group stages after finishing third in the Women’s Super League last season. They entered at the first qualifying stage, which consists of two one-legged matches before a two legged knockout game to reach the groups.
