After the first leg it had looked far from certain, but Arsenal ensured there will be three Women’s Super League teams in the Champions League group stage for the first time with a comfortable victory over Häcken.
With Chelsea having secured a place as WSL champions and Manchester City having earned an 8-0 aggregate win over Paris FC, the pressure was on Arsenal to deliver, with Jonas Eidevall’s side needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit in the second round of qualifying.
