19 October 2022 at 23:01 Maanum with a goal and an assist as Arsenal crushed defending champions Lyon Frida Maanum played centrally in Arsenal’s midfield and contributed with a goal and an assist as Arsenal shocked defending champions Lyon and won 5-1 away in the Champions League. Lyon still has to manage without Ada Hegerberg, who was injured when Norway secured a World Cup ticket a month and a half ago. The team also has others on the injury list, but that does not explain the collapse in a team with strong names in all positions. Caitlin Foord and Beth Mead each scored twice. Maanum scored the 2-0 goal in the 23rd minute when she was in front of the goalkeeper’s return after a finish from Stina Blackstenius and shot straight into the corner. Maanum also had the lead for Mead on the 5-1 goal in the 69th minute. Foord scored the lead goal on a pass from Mead in the 13th minute. Melvine Malard gave Lyon hope with his 1-2 goal, but Mead increased the lead with a free-kick in first-half stoppage time. Foord increased to 4-1 when she broke a wrong pass from Wendie Renard and screwed the ball into the goal from distance. Maanum played the entire game for Arsenal. Ingrid Syrstad Engen also got full game time as Barcelona played their way to a 9-0 victory over Benfica. Caroline Graham Hansen got to rest on the bench on a day when seven different players got on the scoresheet. Asisat Oshoala and substitute Geyse were the only two-goal scorers. (NTB)
