Arsenal Women came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Lyon in the first leg of their Women's Champions League semi-final at the Emirates Stadium, capitalizing on two defensive lapses from the French side.
Lyon took an early lead through a well-worked goal, but Arsenal responded swiftly after a mistake in the Lyon backline allowed the hosts to level the score. The turning point came in the second half when another defensive error gifted Arsenal the winning goal, leaving them with a slender advantage ahead of the second leg in France.
The result puts Arsenal in a strong position but Lyon's away goal means the tie remains finely balanced. The second leg promises to be a tense affair as both sides vie for a place in the final.
