Lyon eliminate Arsenal from WCL

Arsenal's defense of their Women's Champions League title ended in heartbreak as they were defeated by a resurgent Lyon side in the semi-final second leg.

Despite holding a slender aggregate lead entering the match, the Gunners struggled to contain Lyon's clinical attack, which netted three times to turn the tie around.

Jule Brand's 88th-minute strike proved to be the decisive blow, sending the French giants to their 12th European final.

Lyon will now face either Barcelona or Bayern Munich in the showpiece match in Bilbao later this month.
