Oshoala Shines As Barcelona Femini Thrash Arsenal Women 4-1

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala scored a goal and assisted another as reigning champions Barcelona Femini turned on the style to defeat Arsenal Women 4-1 in their UEFA Women’s Champions League clash

The early stages were completely dominated by Barça, who controlled possession and turned that into plenty of good chances. It was just a matter of time before the hosts scored, and it was the excellent Mariona Caldentey who did exactly that on the half-hour mark as she tapped home from a rebounded shot.

UEFA Women’s Player of the Year Alexia Putellas made it two just before half-time, finishing off an excellent run from Asisat Oshoala to give the reigning champions an imposing lead at the interval.

Oshoala who spent the 2016-17 season with Arsenal Women, added Barca’s third, finishing a one-on-one with real composure.

A triple change to their forward line saw Arsenal wrestle some control of the game and after nearly grabbing an equaliser through Caitlin Foord, they did get one from Frida Manuum, who bundled home from a Tobin Heath free-kick.

However, to end all hope of a comeback, Lieke Martens grabbed a fourth for the hosts with a glorious chip with seven minutes to go, but Putellas missed the chance to make it five as her stoppage-time penalty was turned away by Manuela Zinsberger.
