Caitlin Foord was among the goals as Arsenal produced a remarkable turnaround win over Ellie Carpenter’s Olympique Lyon to secure a spot in the UEFA Women’s Champions League final.
The Gunners trailed 2-1 from their first-leg defeat in London, but rallied back to triumph 4-1 in Lyon to progress to the decider against Barcelona.
Foord made it 4-0 in the 63rd minute, lashing her strike into the roof of the net after a Vanessa Gilles’ slip.
Foord put in a full shift and was among the top-rated players for Arsenal. Steph Catley also played a full game while Kyra Cooney-Cross was an 87th minute sub.
Carpenter played the full 90 minutes for eight-time European champions Lyon.
In England’s Women’s Super League, Clare Hunt scored in Tottenham’s 2-2 draw away to Liverpool.
Hunt side-footed home a volley from a corner to put Spurs up 2-1 in the 31st minute.
The Matildas defender put in a full shift, while Charlotte Grant was a 66th minute sub. Hayley Raso was absent. Teagan Micah went unused for Liverpool.
Super Clareeeee! ☄️

In Sweden’s Damallsvenskan, Amy Sayer made her successful return from a long-term ACL injury for Kristianstad.
