Twice European champions VfL Wolfsburg let a two-goal lead slip against Arsenal as the visitors fought back to earn a 2-2 draw in Sunday's Women's Champions League semi-final first leg.
"Days like today make me even more proud to be a part of this group. Unbelievable result to get back from 2-0 down," said Arsenal defender Jen Beattie, who was player of the match.Wolfsburg were missing German striker Alexandra Popp but scored after 19 minutes when Jonsdottir chested down a lob and spotted Pajor making a run in behind the defence, finding the striker with a clinical through ball for her to fire home.
Rafaelle's attempted pass back inside the box did not find Beattie and Jonsdottir's eyes lit up as the ball fell at her feet, with the Icelandic player beating the keeper. Arsenal then equalised after 69 minutes when Dutchwoman Victoria Pelova received the ball behind the defence on the right and crossed for Blackstenius who had a simple tap-in.
