When you're named player of the match, but your team threw away a two-goal lead … Georgia Stanway nails the facial expression.
Chelsea face Lyonnes in a big league-phase game, kicking off shortly. Tom Garry is at the Groupama Stadium.
That Arsenal result seems to have gone down very well with the travelling Chelsea fans here in Lyon, where tonight brings about lots of friendly reunions for the Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor. A winner of this competition with the French side as both a player and a manager, she is seemingly still a popular figure here. This is her first trip back to face her former club since taking over at Chelsea in the summer of 2024.
I'm afraid to report there isn't much atmosphere inside this approximately 60,000-seater stadium – which hosted the 2019 Women's World Cup final – yet though, as the blocks behind both goals are empty and the fans on the far side are mainly occupying the lower tier. The attendances here in this competition are usually a bit stronger in the knockout stages, but the League Phase clearly hasn't quite captured the enthusiasm of the locals just yet.
The penalty incident was very similar to one that befell Aston Villa in the men's Champions League. I do think a penalty is a harsh punishment for what is essentially a misunderstanding, but the frustrating thing for Arsenal is that Williamson didn't need to handle the ball anyway.
It finished , Claudia Pina adding her second before Ewa Pajor got on the scoresheet. Elsewhere, racked up a 3-0 victory over in Sweden.
is asked: did she see that late leveller coming? No, is the obvious answer.
"It's a mistake, unfortunately … but we let them back into the game before then. I'm really happy to have scored, it's a tough moment, but we have to keep building on Sunday (against Manchester City) and in the rest of our Champions League games."
It's all over, and Arsenal have let a two-goal lead slip, defensive errors and a comical penalty costing them dear. It's a draw on the road that will feel like a defeat.
92 mins: Could it get worse for Arsenal? Reynders cuts in from the right and shoots, winning Paris a corner … but nothing comes of it.
90 mins: There will be four minutes of added time. Can Arsenal rescue a win despite that embarrassing error for the penalty?
89 mins: Frida Maanum climbs to meet a cross, but her header is straight at Chavas.
88 mins: Slegers throws on Caitlin Foord and Stina Blackstenius for Russo and Baum.
There are plenty of Arsenal protests, but the penalty stands after a VAR check, and Maeline Mendy buries the spot kick. Misa goes the right way but unable to keep it out.
Sacré bleu – Paris FC have a penalty in bizarre circumstances after Leah Williamson handles the ball in the area! Misa retrieved it from behind the goal and passed it to the centre-back, who placed it with her hands for a goal kick. The referee rules that Misa's pass made the ball live, so it's a handball!
84 mins: Maanum has a speculative shot from distance, easily saved by Chavas. Still, only five minutes plus change for Arsenal to hold on.
82 mins: Arsenal win a free kick in a dangerous spot, out wide on the right – but Smith's cross towards the far post is cleared away.
80 mins: Sandrine Soubeyrand makes her last two changes, with Mateo and Liaigre going off. Costa Rica's Sheika Scott and Manoly Baquerizo of Ecuador come on.
79 mins: Holmberg gets the better of Mateo on the right and crosses towards Smith, who should maybe have done better with her header at the far post.
77 mins: Paris FC keep pushing, with left-back Liaigre going on a mazy run, before her cross is deflected into Misa's arms.
76 mins: Mateo glides down the left again, in a similar position to her goal – but this time, Leah Williamson gets across well to intercept.
74 mins: Wubben-Moy tries to make amends, but her header is deflected behind. Paris FC make another change, with the industrious Le Moguedec replaced by Océane Picard.
Wubben-Moy and Williamson both go to close down Viens, who pokes a well-timed pass out wide to Mateo. Clean through on goal, she rounds Misa Rodriguez and slots it home.
Game on! Clara Mateo pulls one back for Paris, and it's a bad defensive moment for Arsenal.
"The surname of Arsenal winger Lisa Baum means 'tree'," notes Peter Oh. "With (Jurriën) Timber in the men's side, there's a pleasingly rustic sturdiness to Arsenal these days."
68 mins: Two more changes from Renee Slegers, with Smilla Holberg replacing Fox and Frida Maanum on for Stanway.
67 mins: A little reminder for Arsenal here as Korosec gets into space and fizzes a shot just over the bar from 20 yards out.
66 mins: Russo's backheel finds Ona Batlle in space, but her shot flies high and wide.
65 mins: Smith is stationed on the left as Arsenal switch to what looks like a 4-2-3-1 setup, with Caldentey and Baum moving behind Russo.
64 mins: Williamson deals with the free kick, and when the ball is heaved back upfield, Mateo is caught offside.
62 mins: Paris are enjoying some attacking momentum now, and Stanway is booked for a fairly innocuous trip on Le Moguedec.
Juve lead in Sweden thanks to Tatiana Pinto, while Barcelona now lead Roma 4-0, Caroline Graham Hansen getting her second goal of the night.
59 mins: Korosec lifts in a cross that is half-cleared before Wubben-Moy thunks it away downfield.
58 mins: Two changes for Paris FC, new signing Hillary Diaz replacing Greboval in central defence and teenage forward Maeline Mendy replacing Toloba.
57 mins: Kim Little goes off for Arsenal, replaced by Olivia Smith.
55 mins: Baum is almost able to latch on to a flick from Stanway – Liaigre does well to get across and block her shot away. Changes coming up …
The holders add another goal in Rome, Claudia Pina the scorer.
52 mins: The Paris defence are being stretched repeatedly now, with Greboval getting a vital boot to clear with Stanway lurking, before Fox's cross is cleared behind by N'Dongala.
That is Georgia Stanway's first competitive goal for Arsenal, a just reward for her attacking efforts and Arsenal's positive start to the second half.
Fox's cross bounces into Stanway's path, and she chests it down before smashing home a volley from close range!
49 mins: Stanway finds space in the area but her shot is well blocked by Greboval, with Caldentey not quite able to pounce on the rebound.
47 mins: Arsenal win an early corner, but it's well claimed by Chavas in the Paris FC goal.
We're back under way in Paris. No changes for either side yet.
Half-time reading:
I'm not entirely sure how, but Arsenal lead at the break despite some wobbly moments in defence. Can they get the job done? We'll find out.
45 mins: Paris FC hit the bar! Into one minute of added time and Viens springs the Arsenal offside trap, racing on to Mateo's pass and drilling her shot against the bar! The flag went up, but replays show that was the wrong call, so VAR would have awarded the goal (probably). Misa might have got a touch, too – in which case, that's an incredible save.
44 mins: Having laboured to get that first goal, Arsenal are pushing for a second with Russo and Little causing problems for the home defence, who just about clear their lines …
The visitors double their lead in Rome, thanks to an own goal from Shukurat Oladipo, who turned Hansen's cross into her own net under pressure.
43 mins: Russo has another go from the edge of the area, but it's comfortable for Chavas. The away fans have stopped biting their nails and are merrily singing about Spurs again.
Arsenal tried to break away from Paris FC's corner, quickly got bogged down but held on to the ball and waited. Stanway found Russo, who held off two defenders, turned and fired low inside the near post – a finish reminiscent of another England striker, Harry Kane.
Arsenal really needed a moment of quality, and Alessia Russo has provided it to open the scoring!
