    [Safia] Middleton-Patel has a great leader and mentor in [Phallon] Tullis-Joyce who she can learn from and help her develop. The games she has been involved in will definitely put her in good stead for the future. She will have gained a lot of knowledge from those experiences.

  2. GREAT SAVE!published at 63 mins

    Wolfsburg 3-2 Manchester United

    It has been a tough evening for Wales international Safia Middleton-Patel, but she does superbly here to get something on to Lineth Beerensteyn's powerful header to stop Wolfsburg getting a fourth.

    Beerensteyn thought she had scored and punches the ground in frustration at not having done so again

    It's a shame to see Popp going off. She has been good in and out of possession, trying to help build attacks. But also defensively she is not afraid to put a challenge in, press the ball and make her presence be felt. Hopefully it's not too serious a problem.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 60 mins

    Wolfsburg 3-2 Manchester United

    Wolfsburg captain Alexandra Popp has put herself about tonight with some strong, and maybe some questionable challenges, but her game is now done as she looks to have suffered an injury to her right knee and has had to come off, limping off the pitch.

    On comes Germany international midfielder Lena Lattwein.

  5. Freezing conditions at Meadow Parkpublished at 19:02 GMT

    Arsenal v Real Madrid (20:00 GMT)

    There's only two words on everyone's lips tonight at Meadow Park.

    It's not "European champions" or "Real Madrid" or even "three points"... It's actually just "it's freezing."

    The temperature has dropped considerably in Borehamwood and there were barely any supporters in the stands when team news dropped.

    Most of them were staying in their cars, in the pubs or near the burger van which is easily the warmest spot in the ground.

    I know, we're English and discussing the weather again, but it will be interesting to see how it affects the atmosphere here tonight.

    Arsenal are used to a packed crowd at the Emirates Stadium but have had to return to Meadow Park as a one-off due to a scheduling clash.

    It was no surprise to hear it sold out immediately but can the supporters stay warm enough to make noise? Let's hope so.

    I said Popp should have been booked in the first half and she’s just absolutely wiped out Malard off the ball. It’s shocking she’s not on a yellow or off the pitch at this point.

    Popp might be lucky to not be in the book after that [challenge on Malard], because it was off the ball.

    But United still believe and Ella Toone fizzes an effort at goal, but just over the top.

    It was a really well worked cross into the box and Beerensteyn does excellently to just connect with it and try and bend it towards the back post. It just evades the target.

  10. CLOSE!published at 52 mins

    Wolfsburg 3-2 Manchester United

    Almost a fourth for Wolfsburg as Lineth Beerensteyn connects with a cross from the right and steers it goalwards. If it is on target it is in the net, but luckily for United it drifts just wide with Safia Middleton-Patel nowhere near it.

    You can just see Wolfsburg's first thought when they get the ball back is can they get Beerensteyn on her way with a direct ball? Hoping the United defence is high and they can exploit the space in behind.

    I don't even know where to start. It's crazy, it's mental, but I'm loving it!

    Marc Skinner potentially has some big decisions to make at half time. Could the likes of Park and Terland come in?

    Wonderful goals for Wolfsburg. It's a great first half. United second goal was really effective. Looks like a really interesting second half

    Arsenal are sitting in 11th, which is a tricky spot to be in, now the pressure is on. You really have to start picking up points because as it stands now you could be facing a Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or a Wolfsburg type team in the next round, which is a big team to face.

    But if you can pick up a few more points you could be in a much safer position and have the advantage going into that play-off phase.

    Real Madrid have done really well so far and it will be another big test [for Arsenal]. It just goes to show you the quality of the teams now in the Champions League and that the league phase absolutely works, because you are seeing the current holders in 11th place.

    Arsenal boss Renee Slegers admits her side have to start creating more chances as they gear up for a Women’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

    The Gunners were held to a goalless Women’s Super League draw with north London rivals Tottenham on Sunday, which followed a 3-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League last week, having led 2-0 at the break.

    Slegers said: “We don’t deny it, we acknowledge it’s difficult. We also know the strength of the team. We know what we’re capable of and the strengths we have in the squad.

    “Bayern was a good first half against a top opponent. Second half, we of course try to be critical of ourselves, we gave it away.

    “A lot of games and a short turnaround into a north London derby. Compared to last year and how easy it was for us to score goals with the type of opportunities we created, that’s a little bit harder for us at the moment.”
