Arsenal Fends Off Chelsea to Reach Women’s Champions League Semifinals, Bayern Also Advances
Chelsea were eliminated after a late goal was ruled too little, too late, while Arsenal advanced on a 3-2 aggregate score, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Arsenal secured a Women's Champions League semi-final spot with a 3-2 aggregate victory over Chelsea, despite suffering a 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge in the quarter-final second leg.
- Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor's side entered the match trailing from the first leg, requiring an unlikely comeback at home to advance in Europe's premier women's club competition.
- Late in the match, Arsenal midfielder Katie McCabe pulled Alyssa Thompson's hair during a counter-attack without penalty, prompting Bompastor's protests that earned her two yellow cards and ejection from the dugout.

- Arsenal coach Renée Slegers now prepares for a semi-final against the winner of OL Lyonnes' quarterfinal against VfL Wolfsburg, while Chelsea exits the WSL title race and Champions League.
