Arsenal 3 Zurich 1: Nobbs scores a stunner and Hurtig nets her first Gunners brace as WSL leaders thwart Zurich

They have been beaten just once in their last 14 games played at home with their last loss occurring against Chelsea in the FA Cup in April.

Meanwhile, former Gunners boss Joe Montemurro steered Juventus to a 1-1 draw with Lyon with the French giants third with just a point from two outings.

Jonas Eidevall made seven changes to the Arsenal side that hammered the tournament record winners 5-1 with Vivianne Miedema returning to his first 11.

The Gunners gaffer, whose team have played three games in eight days, gave starts to Nobbs, Mana Iwabuchi, and Hurtig who shone in her first start for the club.

Eidevall said: “I thought with us coming off a pretty tight playing schedule it was important for us to change the squad at this moment.

“I expected Zurich to be a little bit lower but we had to work a little more to break them down.

“Jordan’s first goal was a prime example of her finding the right moment to go forward to attack.

“This game really came at a moment where we needed to trust the whole squad.

“It’s the Champions League so everything is at stake and I hope the players feel that and that trust in them.

“When you put players on in a Champions League game it’s because you trust them.

“I’ve been really happy with how people have been training and how the spirit has been.”;

Arsenal’s game took place hours after Gunners’ Prem centre-back Pablo Mari was flown to hospital after being stabbed at a supermarket in Milan.

The defender, 29, on loan at Serie A side Monza, is one of five people reported to have been attacked around 6:30 pm local time this evening.

Eidevall added: “He is at the hospital and is alright under very sad conditions.

“I hope he and all the other victims are as good as possible following this event.

“I hope they can all feel the love from the Arsenal family. No person should go through things like that.”;
