Arsenal Women Eliminates Champions League

Arsenal Women have been eliminated from the Women’s Champions League after losing to Paris FC on penalties on Saturday.

The London club, which reached the semi-finals last season, entered this year’s competition in Round 1, having finished fourth in the Women’s Super League.

They were drawn into Tournament 3 and beat Swedish hosts Linkoping 3-0 in the semi-finals earlier this week, setting up a final against Division 1 Feminine outfit Paris FC on Saturday afternoon.

Following a 3-3 draw after extra-time, Arsenal were beaten 4-2 on penalties to bring their European campaign to a premature conclusion.

Paris FC raced into a two-goal lead just after half-time, with Mathilde Bourdieu scoring a quick-fire brace before the hour mark.
