Arsenal manager Renee Slegers admits her team are experiencing a “blip” after their Women’s Champions League defence opened with a 2-1 defeat to Lyon.

Alessia Russo gave them a seventh-minute lead but defensive errors allowed Melchie Dumornay to score twice before half-time.

Arsenal are now winless in four matches, their joint-longest run without a victory in the Women’s Super League era.
