We produced a performance for the ages on an historic night in N5 as three goals in 14 minutes at the start of the second half saw us come from 2-0 down to beat Real Madrid 3-2 on aggregate in the second leg of the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-finals.
Two Chloe Kelly crosses were dispatched with aplomb by Alessia Russo and Mariona Caldentey as our dominant display got the big goals it so richly deserved, before Russo made it three from a Katie McCabe free-kick.
what happened
We had the ball almost exclusively in Madrid’s half for the first 25 minutes of the match, starting fast at Arsenal Stadium as Kelly’s dangerous low cross from the right was gathered by Misa Rodriguez.
