LIVE – Updated at 19:58

Arsenal travelled to Germany to take on Wolfsburg in the second leg of their Women’s Champions League quarter-final and the German side won 2-0 on the night to triumph 3-1 on aggregate.

Former Arsenal player Jill Roord poked home from close range to put Wolfsburg ahead in the first half at the Volkswagen Arena and that advantage was doubled when Leah Williamson turned Sveindis Jonsdottir’s cross past Manuela Zinsberger for an own goal with 17 minutes to go.

The Gunners hit the bar through Vivianne Miedema shortly after that but were largely outplayed by their hosts and exited the Women’s Champions League at the last-eight stage.

In a closely-fought first-leg contest Tabea Wassmuth had given the Frauen-Bundesliga side the lead at the Emirates Stadium before Lotte Wubben-Moy’s late equaliser earned Arsenal a draw to leave them on level terms with their hosts halfway through the tie.

The Volkswagen Arena which was also the venue of Arsenal’s WCL semi-final defeat in 2013. Wolfsburg won the second leg 2-1 at home to progress to the final that year and now, in 2022, they will face current WCL holders Barcelona in the semi-finals.

Follow the reaction from the Volkswagen Arena as Wolfsburg beat Arsenal:

A bit of reaction from Arsenal’s captain, Kim Little, who said after the game: “I think Wolfsburg were strong in the press. We gave away too much especially in attack. It was a tough match, but I think we can take a lot from it in terms of what we can improve.

“We’re very disappointed. We want to be able to challenge in Europe. It was even for the most part but they capitalised on their chances.”

Wolfsburg deserved it. Over the two legs they were the better team, Arsenal weren’t at the races tonight and
