Volkswacht Bodensee - Bayern stun Arsenal, Man Utd sink PSG in Women's Champions League

Emily Fox's early header and Mariona Caldentey's 23rd-minute shot from the edge of the box appeared to have put Arsenal in total control in Munich.

But Bayern dug deep in the second half to execute an astonishing turnaround.

Alara began the fightback in the 67th minute, with substitute Pernille Harder's superb strike drawing the Germans level, before Glodis Viggosdottir snatched the winner, prodding home Klara Buehl's low cross with four minutes left.

"To be honest, this is a winning team with a winning mentality," Bayern coach Jose Barcala told Disney+.

"We always believe we can win the game even when we are 2-0 down. We stay together, we find solutions together, and until the referee blows the whistle, we stay going and keep believing," he added.

"It's not good enough. We don't want to concede three goals in one half in the Champions League" remarked Arsenal boss Renee Slegers.

This was Arsenal's second defeat out of three, and it left the London side in the play-off zone for a place in the quarter-finals in the new format league phase.

The 18-team table is led by three-time winners Barcelona, who swept aside Belgian European debutants OH Leuven 3-0.

Alexia Putellas opened the scoring for the hosts with a penalty in first-half injury time.

An own-goal from Kim Everaerts extended Barca's lead after the break with Irene Paredes completing a good night's work to make it three from three and lift the Spaniards top of the standings on goal difference from Lyon.

Later Manchester United ensured their first ever European fixture at Old Trafford rather than their regular home at the 12,000-capacity Leigh Sports Village ground was one to remember with a 2-1 defeat of Paris Saint-Germain.

The game marked former United goalkeeper Mary Earps' first return to her old club since moving to France.

Melvine Malard's curling strike foiled Earps on United's first shot on goal after the half hour mark, only for Olda Carmona, author of Spain's World Cup winner against England, to level in first half injury time.

After an excellent build-up involving Jess Park, Anna Sandberg crossed for Fridolina Rolfo to head in the decider on 58 minutes, to make it three from three in United's debut Champions League campaign.

It lifted them into third on goal difference and on course for direct qualification to the quarter-finals while PSG remain pointless.

"It was crazy. A moment like this is like a lifetime opportunity. It was incredible. The support from the fans and the way we played today showed real character" said midfielder Park.

Elsewhere Juventus beat Atletico Madrid 2-1, and Benfica held Twente to a 1-1 draw.
