Arsenal 2-0 Bayern Munich (2-1) LIVE! Women’s Champions League result, match stream and latest updates today

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich LIVE!

Arsenal reached the Women's Champions League semi-finals after a dominating opening 45 minutes helped overturn a first-leg deficit and see off Bayern Munich 2-1 on aggregate.

Trailing to a Lea Schuller goal in Germany last week, the hosts recovered from the early loss of captain Kim Little to win 2-0 in front of 21,307 fans at the Emirates Stadium.

A fine Frida Maanum strike set them on their way before Stina Blackstenius' header settled the tie. The margin of victory should have been much more comfortable but for a fine goalkeeping display from Maria-Luisa Grohs and some wayward finishing from the Arsenal forwards.

Jonas Eidevall has now guided the Gunners to their first Champions League semi-final since 2013, when they lost to Wolfsburg - who also knocked Arsenal out in the quarter-finals last season.

A team talk on the pitch from Jonas Eidevall

22:00 , Marc Mayo

As Arsenal fans dance in the wet north London evening, the whole squad including Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema come down for a post-match huddle.

21:58 , Marc Mayo

That’s the first Women’s Champions League semi-final berth for Arsenal since 2013!

FULL TIME! Arsenal 2-0 Bayern Munich (2-1 agg)

21:56 , Marc Mayo

THE GUNNERS ARE THROUGH!

21:55 , Marc Mayo

90+7 mins: A mighty defensive header from Hurtig gets the ball away before Walti is wiped out in taking the ball away.

Booking for Eidevall for his protests.

21:54 , Marc Mayo

90+5 mins: Zinsberger off her line to punch commandingly and Arsenal briefly look like sparking a counter, but Maanum can’t catch up with the pass.

Munich prepare for another rally...

21:52 , Marc Mayo

90+3 mins: Bayern have a corner and the goalkeeper is up!

Grohs gets into the scramble as the ball is cleared. Back it comes from Stanway... headed wide!

21:51 , Marc Mayo

90+2 mins: Another Gunners corner as Arsenal continue on the long path to running down the clock.

Williamson shuts down the counter when won back though, skips past a couple of challenges and lays off a pass. Slick.

21:49 , Marc Mayo

90 mins: Foord beats her defender and settles for winning a throw by the corner flag.

That results in a corner just as SEVEN additional minutes begin.

21:47 , Marc Mayo

87 mins: Another injury delay will allow a fresh set of subs.

Beattie will add experience to the Arsenal backline as McCabe hobbles off in some pain. Hurtig on too, for Blackstenius.

Bayern take Magull and Schuller off for Rudelic and Vilhjalmsdottir.

21:43 , Marc Mayo

85 mins: Foord snatches possession in Bayern’s half and goes early with a bobbling effort held well by the goalkeeper.

The Aussie winger has been Arsenal’s best player tonight.

Simon Collings at Emirates Stadium

21:43 , Marc Mayo

Quite remarkable Arsenal haven’t killed this game to be honest.

It should be dead and buried but Bayern have a sniff with 10 minutes to go. Home fans trying to raise the volume.

21:42 , Marc Mayo

83 mins: Blackstenius the next taking a moment to get to her feet as Arsenal perhaps look to take the sting out of the game, Bayern clearly on the game and looking overall a bit sharper.

21:39 , Marc Mayo

80 mins: Zadrazil and Rall off for Bayern, Laurent and Lohmann on.

Arsenal have had a reshuffle with McCabe into midfield, Martiz at left-back and Wienroither on the right.

21:37 , Marc Mayo

79 mins: Viggosdottir has words with Blackstenius for hitting the deck under a challenge by the Bayern corner flag - no foul given.

A bit more afters as Maritz pulls back her runner to end a Munich move and Damnjanovic shoves the Arsenal defender to the ground, as they both take bookings.

21:36 , Marc Mayo

76 mins: More from Munich as Stanway looks to clip a ball to the far post from the edge of the area, but a nick deflects it back to the goalkeeper.

Walti is down with a bit of cramp just as Arsenal introduce Wienroither for Pelova.

Arsenal chance!

21:31 , Marc Mayo

73 mins: THAT HAS TO GO IN!

Maanum sends a tidy backheel to Foord, through on goal 10 yards out and she slaps her side-footed effort over the bar!

21:31 , Marc Mayo

72 mins: Back underway with the Arsenal goalkeeper good to continue despite that initially worrying injury.

Bayern just notching up their tempo here...

21:28 , Marc Mayo

69 mins: A second injury worry for Arsenal as Zinsberger goes down holding her hamstring.

21:28 , Marc Mayo

68 mins: Bayern working hard to get a foot on the ball now with Stanway getting a bit more support deep in the midfield.

21:23 , Marc Mayo

64 mins: Munich make their first change and it’s a surprise they’ve waited this long.

Off comes teenage winger Kett with striker Damnjanovic introduced.

Arsenal chance!

21:22 , Marc Mayo

62 mins: McCabe trots through the Bayern defence by dancing through two weak challenges before her effort is tipped wide!

Fine play from the midfielder, today playing at left-back.

Bayern Munich chance!

21:18 , Marc Mayo

60 mins: Buhl skips inside Maritz to open up a chance and a vital Wubben-Moy block turns her shot away!

Simon Collings at Emirates Stadium

21:17 , Marc Mayo

It speaks volumes of Arsenal’s dominance that Georgia Stanway has been so subdued for Bayern. For England she bosses games, but here she’s been overrun.

21:16 , Marc Mayo

58 mins: A rare Bayern corner from a rare Arsenal error is swung in by Buhl in front of the handful of away fans in the far corner.

A strong header gets it cleared before Munich have to settle for a throw-in.

21:14 , Marc Mayo

55 mins: Bayern again play themselves into trouble and concede a corner.

Schuller is under it well to clear before the hosts settle into some possession. No rush now, for the Gunners.

21:10 , Marc Mayo

51 mins: Another fine run by Foord lays Maanum into the box, and her shot pings Viggosdottir right in the face.

Foord hits the rebound into the goalkeeper’s arms and play is stopped to check on the Bayern defender. She’ll battle on.

21:07 , Marc Mayo

47 mins: Much like the first half, Arsenal are bombing forward in numbers and finding plenty of space to attack into.

Blackstenius lays a loose pass behind Foord but the striker is offside anyway.

Kick-off! Arsenal 2-0 Bayern Munich (2-1 agg.)

21:04 , Marc Mayo

The game restarts at Emirates Stadium with one goal in the tie.

No changes ahead of the final 45 minutes...

Here come the players!

21:02 , Marc Mayo

Second half coming up...

First-half highlights: Blackstenius puts Arsenal two ahead

21:00 , Marc Mayo

What to expect in the second half

20:57 , Marc Mayo

Bayern simply cannot be as bad as they were in the first half again - they will be right up for getting back into this game with only a goal needed to level the tie.

Arsenal must be more clinical therefore, but the way Foord is running the show looks unlikely to stop. Chances will keep coming.

Stats check

20:55 , Marc Mayo

The numbers underline Arsenal’s dominance: eight shots to one, five on target to none.

Possession is roughly equal, too.

First-half highlights: Maanum worldie levels up the tie

20:50 , Marc Mayo

Half time! Arsenal 2-0 Bayern Munich (2-1 agg.)

20:49 , Marc Mayo

Arsenal are well on top here, so much so they should really have more than a one-goal lead in the tie!

Maanum and Blackstenius have struck for a quickfire turnaround.

20:47 , Marc Mayo

45+1 mins: Two minutes go up on the fourth official’s board as Blackstenius skies a half chance.

Arsenal chance!

20:46 , Marc Mayo

45 mins: Blackstenius nearly makes it three again from the free-kick!

Wubben-Moy comes down the right to fling the ball back in and it hits the bar!

Blimey...

20:45 , Marc Mayo

44 mins: Kett enters the book after dragging down Foord on the Arsenal winger’s latest break.

Finally, a popular decision from the referee in north London!

Arsenal chance!

20:42 , Marc Mayo

40 mins: Blackstenius so close to Arsenal’s third! A fine stop by Grohs from close range.

Simon Collings at Emirates Stadium

20:41 , Marc Mayo

The only complaint you’d have with Arsenal is that they are not four or five up here. The tie could well be dead and buried already.

20:39 , Marc Mayo

38 mins: Rafaelle the next Arsenal player to be booked for an off-the-ball foul on Schuller.

Arsenal chance!

20:38 , Marc Mayo

36 mins: Foord is running riot down the left and scampers forward again, cutting the ball back for Blackstenius who has to spin for her shot.

It’s dragged wide of the near post - but not far wide at all.

20:35 , Marc Mayo

33 mins: Kett flies over from the D in arguably Bayern’s best move of the game, she picked up the ball in acres of space.

Arsenal chance!

20:33 , Marc Mayo

31 mins: Williamson, now playing in midfield after Little’s early exit, gets on the end of a deep cross by Foord but just overruns it and heads over.

20:32 , Marc Mayo

30 mins: All a bit sloppy from the visitors as they look to get back into the game.

Arsenal must fancy their chances of getting a third...

Simon Collings at Emirates Stadium

20:29 , Marc Mayo

This Bayern defence is all at sea right now. A reminder they have conceded just four goals in 16 league games this season. Arsenal opening them up at will.

GGGGOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!! Arsenal 2-0 Bayern Munich (2-1)

20:27 , Marc Mayo

26 mins: BLACKSTENIUS MAKES IT TWO!

The pressure keeps on coming and McCabe overlaps down the left to pick out a perfect cross for Blackstenius, who makes no mistake from close range.

The Gunners lead the tie for the first time!

20:26 , Marc Mayo

25 mins: A lot more control about Arsenal on the ball than Bayern, who look nervy when pressed.

Foord crosses well again but Kumagai makes a timely clearance.

20:24 , Marc Mayo

22 mins: Schuller escapes down the left and clips a fine ball to the far post where Rall lines up to hit it but is shrugged off nicely by her marker!

Stanway then clearly brings Blackstenius down up the pitch but gets away with it.

Not a fine night for our referee so far...

Simon Collings at Emirates Stadium

20:22 , Marc Mayo

That’s a stunning goal and just what Arsenal needed. Eidevall jumped about four feet in the air when it went in.

GGGGOOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Arsenal 1-0 Bayern Munich (1-1)

20:21 , Marc Mayo

19 mins: MAANUM!

The Norwegian takes aim from the edge of the box and picks out the top corner sensationally! All level in the tie.

20:17 , Marc Mayo

15 mins: Arsenal have responded well to losing Little, seeing a dangerous corner cleared, it’s vital they don’t lose their confidence.

But Wubben-Moy is handed a booking for felling Magull. A soft one, that.

20:13 , Marc Mayo

11 mins: That is that for Little with Wubben-Moy coming on. A big blow.

Simon Collings at Emirates Stadium

20:12 , Marc Mayo

This is a huge blow to Arsenal, with Kim Little coming off injured. Their uphill battle just got even steeper. Williamson takes the armband.

20:11 , Marc Mayo

9 mins: Issue for Arsenal with their captain Little down and receiving treatment.

20:09 , Marc Mayo

8 mins: Arsenal men’s boss Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu Gaspar are watching on from the stands tonight.

Bayern look to load the box for an early Buhl free-kick from the right, in it comes and Walti stands tall to head clear for a corner.

20:07 , Marc Mayo

6 mins: Sparky start from the Gunners, no shortage of confidence that they can match their opponents despite defeat last week.

Arsenal chance!

20:06 , Marc Mayo

4 mins: Good win by Zadrazil but Arsenal pounce and counter with conviction.

In it comes from Foord on the left with Maanum popping up in the box... it just won’t go in!

A proper goalmouth scramble sees Bayern escape.

20:04 , Marc Mayo

2 mins: A little bit of Bayern possession to start, the Germans lining up in a fairly fluid 4-3-3 with Arsenal matching them up tactically.

Simon Collings at Emirates Stadium

20:03 , Marc Mayo

There’s a little pocket of I reckon, 50 away fans. Fair play to them. They’ve travelled over here and now they’re get drenched in the lashing rain.

Kick-off! Arsenal vs Bayern Munich

Arsenal came mighty close to a leveller in the first leg - a performance that will give them heart of pulling off a comeback tonight.

Not long until kick-off!

Can Arsenal deliver European glory to English football?

19:49 , Marc Mayo

Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall believes an English club will soon break their duck and win the Women’s Champions League.

"I think if you build things over here in England, it's only a matter of time before an English club wins the Champions League," said Eidevall.

"I think both the English clubs in the competition this year have the potential to be able to do it.

"It's not like it has to be in the distant future, but time will definitely be in English clubs' favour as long as this progression continues."

A very solid crowd of 20,000 fans is expected at the Emirates Stadium tonight.

Bayern on top form

19:35 , Marc Mayo

Munich came through a huge top-of-the-table clash against Wolfsburg on the weekend to send them top of the Frauen-Bundesliga.

Georgia Stanway’s late penalty delivered the only goal to make it 14 wins in a row for Bayern.

Coach Alexander Straus said: “Today's game was the best advert for German women's football. Both teams played at a very high level.

“In the end we deserved to win because we had better control of the game. It's a very important win for us. We've been pursuing Wolfsburg all season and in recent years too, so it's a very important success for us.

“I'm sure Wolfsburg will fight us for first place with everything they've got in the remaining matches.”

Jonas Eidevall is determined to have faith in a comeback against Bayern Munich.

"I think we can beat any team on any given day," he said. "That is such a great feeling to have.

"We know it's going to be determined by small details, but this set of players could play any team in the world and I know we would have a chance of beating them. That is one of the greatest feelings to have because then you know that everything is possible."

Barcelona set for Women’s Champions League semi-finals

19:06 , Marc Mayo

In the other game of the night, Barcelona are hosting Roma at the Camp Nou with Fridolina Rolfo already putting the hosts in front before a Maria Leon second.

Rolfo then grabbed her second before the break and they’ve since added a couple more!

Barcelona lead 6-1 on aggregate in the second half, with Roma just scoring a consolation.

One change for Bayern

19:01 , Marc Mayo

Franziska Kett comes into the attack in place of Sydney Lohmann, and otherwise it’s the same XI picked for Munich’s games against Arsenal and Wolfsburg in the past week.
