A terrible mistake by defender Lotte Wubben-Moy gifted possession to Wolfsburg with minutes to go and unmarked substitute Pauline Bremer poked in a cross from close range. In front of a record crowd for a women's game in England, Arsenal put the 60,063 fans through an array of emotions before leaving them heartbroken after 120 minutes.

With play allowed to carry on, it fell kindly for Emma Koivisto in front of goal but she struck it straight at alert goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger. Matt Beard's hosts saw more of the ball and created further chances in the second half as captain Niamh Fahey struck wide and striker Katie Stengel headed over the bar. Foord hit the outside of the right post in the first half. Stina Blackstenius was th
