Katie McCabe combined with Frida Maanum to set up Stina Blackstenius for a crucial equaliser.
ARSENAL FOUGHT BACK from two down to draw 2-2 with Wolfsburg in Germany and give themselves a great chance of reaching the Women’s Champions League final.
But a header from Rafaelle Souza just before half-time gave Arsenal hope and Stina Blackstenius equalised in the second half to earn a precious draw ahead of the second leg of the semi-final at the Emirates Stadium on 1 May.It was positive end to a difficult week for Arsenal, who were beaten by Manchester United in the Women’s Super League in midweek and lost another key player to injury, with England captain Leah Williamson rupturing a cruciate knee ligament.
Jonsdottir narrowly headed over the bar as Wolfsburg pushed for a third but Arsenal steadied the ship and Beattie had a shot blocked before they pulled one back from a corner just before the break, Rafaelle heading in at the far post.
