Jule Brand shatters Arsenal with late winner sending OL Lyonnes into WCL final

Jule Brand’s late winner settled an absorbing semi-final to end Arsenal’s defence of their Women’s Champions League title and sent OL Lyonnes through to a record-extending 12th European final.

With the second leg level at 3-3 on aggregate after Alessia Russo’s goal for Arsenal and seemingly heading for extra time, Brand collected Melchie Dumornay’s chipped through ball and tucked a neat finish into the far corner. The goal was initially disallowed for offside but, after a three-minute VAR check, the goal was given, sparking joyous celebrations at the Groupama Stadium.
