Lacklustre Arsenal slump to shock WCL qualifying first-leg defeat at Häcken

Yesterday at 03:32 PM

• WCL 2nd qualifying round, first leg: Häcken 1-0 Arsenal
• Tabby Tindell scores only goal of game in 77th minute

A laboured Arsenal sunk to a 1-0 defeat away to BK Hacken in the first leg of their Champions League Round 2 encounter. Tabitha Tindell's second half strike was the difference on a night of few clear-cut chances to give Mak Lind's side a famous win

As the sun set over the Bravida Stadium in Gothenburg, Arsenal took to the field looking to take a significant step in returning to the Champions League Group Stage. Crashing out in Round 1 last season had been a huge disappointment for Jonas Eidevall's side and they found themselves back in Sweden, the same country where that disheartening defeat to Paris FC had occurred just a year previous.
