  1. Goodbye

    .

    That's all from me this evening. Thanks for joining us.

    Arsenal went into their opening Champions League group game unbeaten since February but it was reigning European champions Barcelona that put down a marker with a comprehensive 4-1 victory.

    Take care and see you all soon.

  2. Hegerberg returns for Lyon

    Ada Hegerberg

    In case you missed it...

    Ada Hegerberg made her return from a 21-month injury absence as Lyon beat Hacken in the Women's Champions League.

    The tournament's all-time top scorer came on with 12 minutes to go of the 3-0 win in Sweden.

  3. Post update

    FT: Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal

    Probably the only consolation for Arsenal tonight is that they will not be bottom of Group C.

    The reason for that being that earlier on Tuesday Hoffenheim beat HB Koge 5-0.

    Small mercies.

  4. Post update

    FT: Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal

    Barcelona had 37 shots during the course of that 90 minutes. At times it felt like defence versus attack.

    Team to beat?

  5. FULL-TIME

    Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal

    Relentless performance from the hosts. They have well and truly thrashed Arsenal.

  6. MISSED PENALTY

    Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal

    Manuela Zinsberger saves a penalty

    Alexia Putellas steps up to take the penalty but sees it saved by Arsenal keeper Manuela Zinsberger.

  7. PENALTY

    Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal

    Jordan Nobbs concedes a penalty for a foul on Alexia Putellas. The Arsenal midfielder is fuming saying she didn't touch the Barca midfielder.

    But there's no VAR to bail her out and she also gets a booking while protesting.

  8. Post update

    Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal

    Can Arsenal finish with a flourish?

  9. Post update

    Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal

    Nikita Parris wants a penalty for Arsenal. The former Manchester City and Lyon winger chases after a ball into the area and gets there at the same time as Sandra Panos.

    The home keeper looks like she might need a bit of treatment and replays suggest she just got to the ball first. Good decision by the ref to wave that one away.

  10. Post update

    Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal

    With all their pretty football you would not think of Barcelona as a set-piece side but it seems they are handy at them as well.

    Irene Paredes gets forward for a corner and forces Manuela Zinsberger into a fine save at the near post. Leah Williamson then hacks the ball to safety.

    Arsenal just about smuggling the ball to safety again.

  11. Post update

    Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal

    Still the hosts pour forward.

  12. GOAL - Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal

    Lieke Martens

    Martens scores

    Delightful finish. Arsenal defender Leah Williamson is caught out as Lieke Martens runs in behind her.

    Williamson gives the Dutch international a shove trying to put her off but she's not catching her.

    Martens stays on her feet, accelerates clear and strokes in the fourth for the hosts, lifting the ball over the diving Manuela Zinsberger.

  13. SUBSTITUTION

    Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal

    Mariona Caldentey strolls off as Bruna Vilamila enters the fray for Barca.

    Caldentey has been brilliant this evening.

  14. SUBSTITUTION

    Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal

    Mana Iwabuchi comes on for Kim Little. What impact can that change have for the Gunners?

  15. Post update

    Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal

    Can Arsenal force their way back into this match? Nikita Parris tries to feed a pass down the side of the home defence but that is just cut out.

  16. SUBSTITUTION

    Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal

    Ana­Maria Crnogorcevic, who conceded the free-kick for Arsenal's goal heads off to be replaced by Swedish international Fridolina Rolfo.

    As if Barcelona need to freshen things up.

  17. GOAL - Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal

    Frida Maanum

    A super delivery from Tobin Heath sees Frida Maanum bundle the ball home for the visitors.

    The Arsenal changes have definitely had an impact. Nikita Parris won the free-kick there.

  18. Post update

    Barcelona 3-0 Arsenal

    Brilliant play from Arsenal who build from the back and almost score a wonderful team goal.

    Kim Little's deft flick gets her out of trouble on the edge of her own box and Nikita Parris is so unlucky to see her effort cleared off the line at the other end.

  19. Post update

    Barcelona 3-0 Arsenal

    Can Lieke Martens score with almost her first touch? No. The Barca midfielder slices her effort wide.
