Arsenal v Benfica: Women’s Champions League – live

Alessia Russo’s excellent finish has given Arsenal a deserved lead at Meadow Park. Benfica had one great chance, missed by Froya Dorsin, but for the most part Arsenal were the better team.

45 min Two minutes of added fun.

45 min Pauels makes another decent save, diving low to her left to push Russo’s long-range shot round the post.

41 min That was Russo’s 21st goal in the WCL, which equals Fran Kirby’s record for an England player.

Arsenal worked the ball down the left, with Catley and Hinds involved at the start. Foord flicked a clever pass round the corner to Russo, who cracked a low shot into the far corner from 15 yards. A ruthless finish from a quite brilliant player.
