Williamson calls for Arsenal 'intensity' in second leg

When Arsenal look back at their 2025-26 season, they may see the final weekend of April as pivotal.

Twenty-four hours after Manchester City's defeat by Brighton handed them a lifeline in the Women's Super League title race, the Gunners came from behind to beat Lyon 2-1 in the first leg of their Women's Champions League semi-final.

With 90 minutes all that stands between them and a second successive appearance in the final, the climax to another glorious season could be unfolding.

"The first half was quite even - we gave away a cheap goal," captain Leah Williamson told BBC Sport after she afforded Jule Brand too much time and space to score Lyon's early opener.
