Arsenal star Katie McCabe narrowly avoided a red card following a highly controversial altercation during the Women's Champions League quarter-final.
During a tense second-leg clash between fierce London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, McCabe was caught in a heated moment where she appeared to aggressively pull the hair of her opponent, Thompson. Despite the blatant nature of the physical confrontation, match officials opted not to dismiss the player, allowing her to stay on the pitch.
Chelsea ultimately secured a 1-0 victory on the night. However, it wasn't enough to overturn the aggregate score, as Arsenal held off the Blues to successfully book their place in the tournament's semi-finals. While Arsenal celebrates their progression to the final four, the unpunished hair-pulling clash remains a major talking point, highlighting the fiery intensity of the high-stakes European derby.
