Lina Hurtig's late strike seals quarters for Arsenal as Juventus knocked out

Yesterday at 05:25 PM

Lina Hurtig's late poke-in ensured Arsenal secured a spot in the Champions League knockout stage with two group games remaining, a 1-0 win over Juventus enough to put them clear at the expense of the Italian club.

The Gunners needed a win to ensure progression to the quarter-finals after Bayern Munich's 1-1 draw with Vålerenga in Norway. Instead of the Group C standings being finely poised, Hurtig's goal gave the Gunners the breathing room they so desperately wanted before they face Bayern at Meadow Park to very likely decide who tops the group.
