Tim and Jamie look at the decision to reinstall van Domselaar in goal and her world class performance, how Arsenal survived some Chelsea profligacy, Katie McCabe at centre-half again, managing the various momentum switches in the game and the furore at the end with Katie McCabe, Alyssa Thompson and Sonia Bompastor.

First 90 secondsTim Stillman· Host0:00
[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to the Arsenal Women Arsecast on arseblog.com. With me, your host, Tim Stillman, looking back at Wednesday night's 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge, but 3-2 aggregate win for Arsenal in their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal against Chelsea. Another year of the own- a-another year at least of the only land- in the land secured for Arsenal. They are going to the Champions League semifinal, where they will play Lyon again. We are recording this right after Lyon against Wolfsburg, which to be honest, given that it's now 11:00 PM, could've done without, without that one going to extra time, quite frankly, but here we are. [chuckles] Um, apologies we're getting this out a little bit late. I was, um, I was booked to, uh, [lip smacks] I was booked to be on Counter Press podcast, which I'm sure a lot of you listen to. Uh, and if you don't, you should. Uh, great women's football podcast on Thursday morning, um, so we didn't get the chance to do it then basically. But, um, we will perhaps have a slightly more partisan look, uh, than the one I offered on Counter Press at this game. And here to do that with me as ever is our co-host, Jamie Spanger. Jamie, how are you doing this morning in Melbourne? Is it still morning?
Jamie Spanger· Host1:22
Yeah, yeah, morning, 9:00 AM, bright and early. Uh, sat it, sat for what? Two and a half hours of, of Wolfsburg-Lyon. A very good game.
