Arsenal’s Champions League dream is over after a 2-0 defeat at Wolfsburg saw them crash out at the quarter-final stage.
Lotte Wubben-Moy’s late equaliser at the Emirates last week had put the tie in the balance but similar heroics were not forthcoming in Germany.
A lacklustre first half saw the Gunners fall behind in the ninth minute when former player Jill Roord turned in from close range.

Despite an improved second half performance, Arsenal could not break down a stubborn Wolfsburg defence and an own goal from Leah Williamson in the 73rd minute sealed their fate.
