UWCL : Former Gunner Oshoala scores for Barcelona in win over Arsenal
Published: October 06, 2021Barcelona began the defence of their UEFA Women's Champions League title with an emphatic 4-1 win over Arsenal at the Estadi Johan Cruyff on Tuesday, October 5.
Nigeria international Asisat Oshoala continued her impressive form by scoring for the fifth consecutive game in all competitions.
The Super Falcon spent a year at Arsenal before joining Barcelona via Chinese club Dalian Quanjian F.C.
In a dominant display by Barcelona, they took the lead through Mariona Caldentey who took advantage of a rebound and slotted home after Oshoala's shot from outside the area was spilled by goalkeeper Zinsberger.
Three minutes to the end of the first half, Alexia Putellas made it 2-0 after Oshoala broke the offside trap and sent a lovely ball into the box.
Within minutes of the second half beginning, the Super Falcon caused more pain for the Gunners when she netted Barcelona's third goal after a sublime pass from Caldentey.
The visitors pulled a goal back when Maanum bundled home at the back post in the 74th minute before a great finish from Martens completed the scoring.
