@TheAthleticFCArsenal let a two-goal lead slip against Paris FC in the Women's Champions League — though the French side's second proved controversial. Leah Williamson placed the ball on the edge of the six-yard box following a pass from Misa Rodriguez, believing a goal kick had not yet been taken. Referee Iuliana Demetrescu disagreed, awarding Paris FC a penalty which was duly converted by Maeline Mendy with three minutes of normal time remaining. Arsenal, who were 2-0 up through goals from Alessia Russo and Georgia Stanway, have endured a poor start to the new WSL season, winning one of their opening four matches, though they did beat HB Koge in their Women's Champions League opener last week.
