Paris FC celebrate a goal
Paris FC celebrate a goal
A miscommunication between Arsenal goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez and England captain Leah Williamson gifted Paris FC a late equaliser as the sides drew 2-2 in the Women's Champions League.
Arsenal had taken a two-goal lead through Alessia Russo and Georgia Stanway, scoring their first goals of the season either side of half-time before Clara Mateo halved the deficit for Paris with a brilliant counter-attacking move.
With five minutes left, Williamson secured the ball with her hand in order to take a goalkick - but the referee deemed her team-mate Misa had already taken it, and awarded a penalty, which Maeline Mendy scored to level the game.
It was a bizarre turn of events which Arsenal manager Renee Slegers and her team could have done without, having won just one of their opening four Women's Super League (WSL) games and only narrowly winning their Champions League opener against HB Koge amid struggles in front of goal.
