Arsenal routed Zurich 9-1 to top their Women’s Champions League Group C and qualify seeded for the last eight.
The Gunners were in ruthless form as they dispatched their helpless hosts, with Frida Maanum netting a hat-trick and Stina Blackstenius a double.
With Lyon unable to beat Juventus, the result saw Arsenal win the group with 13 points from their six games, and 19 goals scored.

Maanum was first to get on the scoresheet from a free kick, before Caitlin Foord converted to make it two.
Maanum then got a second, and a fourth arrived before the break via Blackstenius.
Arsenal brought up their fifth and six in quick time after the resumption, but the home side pulled one back via Fabienne Humm’s penalty on 64 minutes.
The Gunners were in no mood for further generosity however and Foord, Kim Little and Mana Iwabuchi all netted thereafter to cap off a fine evening for Jonas Eidevall’s team.
As a result of their win and being seeded, Arsenal will have the second leg of their quarter-final tie at home.
