    FT: Lyon 1-5 Arsenal

    Former New Zealand captain Rebecca Smith, speaking on DAZN: "Arsenal looked dangerous every time they got the ball, I liked how they were much more direct today, Blackstenius and some of the news players really suited them.

    "It will be interesting to see how they bring this win into the league now - and also what happens with Lyon now. Juventus next won't be an easy game for them."

  7. 'The balance of the women's game is shifting'

    FT: Lyon 1-5 Arsenal

    Former New Zealand captain Rebecca Smith, speaking on DAZN: "When we look at the women's game, there's been so many moments where history's been made. This is yet another one where we're seeing the whole balance of the women's game shifting.

    "Before Lyon had all of the facilities, all of the money, all of the funding, but now that's changing. We've seen the passion that Arsenal have played with tonight, it's just proved that."

  8. FULL-TIME Lyon 1-5 Arsenal

    Arsenal have done something incredible! The holders humiliated on home soil.

    Lyon 1-5 Arsenal

    Arsenal are just making everything look so easy - especially in midfield. Lyon are trying but look a shadow of what they usually are.

  15. Post update

    Lyon 1-5 Arsenal

    Lyon have not lost by more than a single goal in the Champions League since 2009. They've also only lost once in their last 82 home games.

    That shows the magnitude of this Arsenal result.
