It's a brace for Alessia Russo and a penalty from Mariona Caldentey that sealed the deal for the Gunners tonight as they saw off an improved OH Leuven side 3-1 (7-1 agg)
Full-time, the Gunners are through to the UWCL quarter finals after beating OH Leuven 7-1 over two legs. They will not have to travel as far for the quarters as they will face London rivals Chelsea
Full time: Arsenal 3-1 OH Leuven
92' Leuven will be disappointed with conceding a late goal like that, but they have certainly had an exciting and valuable debut campaign in the UWCL, even if it has ended with three games against the holders
92' Three minutes of added time being played out here
91' Russo takes the ball from Hinds in the middle of the box, holds onto it well and strikes on the turn, another great off-balance finish, 3-1 (7-1 agg)
GOAL!!! Russo has her second
89' Leuven are still searching for something here, they'll be pleased with their performance as they have challenged Arsenal in certain areas and have produced much more threat than in their last two meetings
86' Arsenal come forwards again through Caitlin Foord who has had another good game
84' Arsenal just needing to see this out now for the last five minutes or so, the supporters sound in fine voice as they look ahead to a quarter final clash with Chelsea
82' Arsenal have changed all four of their backline this evening, the bench thin on the ground in other positions
82' Katie McCabe makes way as Taylor Hinds comes on, returning from a spell on the sidelines
81' Leuven win another corner as their quest for an equaliser continues. This is the best they have played out of their three meetings with Arsenal in this competition this season
80' Leuven have won a corner as we head into the final ten minutes of normal time (2-1)
78' McCabe's corner delivery goes very long, Williamson manages to chase and stop it going out of play and now Arsenal are working the ball around the box
78' Arsenal corner
77' Foord works a great ball across to the back post and Russo is close to it, but is unable to make contact
76' Fun fact: Mariona Caldentey's penalty sees her move to joint-second on the list of all time Spanish scorers in a UEFA competition. Putellas leads on 28, followed by Bonmati, Hermoso, and Caldentey all on 26
75' More subs for Arsenal, Lotte Wubben-Moy makes way for Leah Williamson, and Codina comes off for Steph Catley
74' Arsenal have looked more in control since the substitutes came on, fewer sloppy moments
70' It's a great corner delivery from McCabe which finds Wubben-Moy, but her header, similarly to Russo's in the last corner, goes over the bar despite being so close to the goal
69' Another chance for Arsenal! Seynhaeve makes another great save, denying Caitlin Foord's strike
69' McCabe delivers a nice corner, but Russo's header goes up and over the bar
68' Chance for Arsenal! Maanum threads a great ball to Russo who gets her shot off, but the glove of Seynhaeve deflects her effort
65' Arsenal 2-1 OH Leuven (6-1 agg), Caldentey's penalty puts the Gunners back in front
65' GOAL! Caldentey! The Spaniard calmly slots her penalty home, sending it into the bottom right corner
64' Mariona Caldentey is standing over the penalty spot as we wait for VAR to confirm or deny the penalty
64' The challenge on Caitlin Foord in the box is deemed enough for a penalty by the referee. It will be checked by VAR
Penalty awarded! Arsenal
63' It's not been long, but Kim Little has steadied the ship in the middle here, an ever calm presence for Arsenal
61' Two subs for Leuven, Hermans makes way for De Ceuster, and Conijnenberg comes off for Kuijpers
60' Holmberg makes way for Emily Fox in a like for like change at right back
59' Kim Little is Arsenal's first sub of the evening, coming on for her 401st Arsenal appearance to take the place of Chloe Kelly
58' Play is stopped as Reynders recieves medical attention
55' Leuven are looking more confident here, the damage may have been done last week in Belgium, but tonight, Arsenal do not look like themselves as their sloppy play continues
54' Leuven win a corner to be taken by Boatels
51' Foord delivers a great ball across the box, and Holmberg gets on the end of it, but her effort is stopped by Seynhaeve (1-1)
48' Mertens (Leuven) is recieving treatment for an injury, and so as play continues, Arsenal are a player up
47' Arsenal had some sloppy moments in that first half, especially towards the end, Slegers will want them to come out and play closer to their usual standards here to not let the tie slip
46' Second half is underway
The teams are back out, ready for the second half
That first half was a great example of why the Champions League is exciting. Leuven, the debutants, may be very behind across the two legs, but in tonight's game, they're very much in it, taking it to the holders, Arsenal, especially on the counter attack
Half time: Arsenal 1-1 OH Leuven (5-1 agg), Russo's effort put the Gunners ahead before Pusztai equalised
45' just one minute of stoppage time added on
45' Holmberg wins a corner as her ball in/effort is blocked and sent out the back
44' The ball is with van Domselaar as Arsenal try and calm things down and play out from the back
44' Everaerts fires her effort high over the bar for Leuven
43' The score remains 1-1 in this tie, with both sides struggling a bit under the tough, rainy conditions. Arsenal have made some sloppy passes in the lead up to half time and Leuven are hungry for goals
40' Here comes Leuven again after the ball is once more given away cheaply by Arsenal, can't tell if its the conditions or a lack of concentration
37' It seems to be the counterattack where Arsenal are the most vulnerable. Leuven have found success going forwards and getting balls in behind the Arsenal backline
36' SAVE! Van Domselaar easily gets to Pusztai's effort and claims it
33' McCabe's corner finds Pelova who's strike is blocked. The block comes nicely to Holmberg who hits it way over the bar (1-1)
32' Arsenal have a corner on the right, it'll be delivered by McCabe
Goal for Leuven - the offside call is overturned after a VAR check and Leuven have an equaliser making it 1-1 in tonight's game (5-1 aggregate)
29' There is a VAR check going on. Commentary think Russo could be playing Leuven onside, let's see how this turns out
29' Leuven think they have the equaliser but the referee calls it offside so it remains Arsenal 1-0 Leuven
28' Corner for Leuven, delivered into a good area but dealt with initially by Arsenal
28' Arsenal will be able to relax a bit more now, 5 goals up on aggregate is quite comfortable and they'll be able to see that quarter-final in sight
24' Russo now has six goals in eight matches, she scored in the reverse leg, and has opened the scoring this evening with her low, left-footed strike. Arsenal 1-0 Leuven (5-0 agg)

GOAL!!
21' Chance for Arsenal! Frida Maanum's header is denied by Seynhaeve. An end-to-end couple of minutes!
20' A chance for Leuven on the break! A big save by van Domselaar as a direct ball gets in behind Arsenal's backline and drops for Conijnenberg
18' Arsenal just needing to be patient here, they have a nice cushion (4-0 aggregate) but need to relax here even though it's tough in the conditions
A reminder that winning this tie sets up a Champions League quarter final against London/WSL rivals Chelsea
15' Wubben-Moy intercepts Leuven's ball into the centre of the pitch and turns it over for Arsenal
13' Throw in for Arsenal to be taken by Holmberg just in front of the dugouts
11' Yellow card for Oh Leuven's Mertens for a late tackle on Mariona Caldentey (0-0)
10' Maanum's ball into the box is claimed by Seynhaeve
9' Arsenal are moving the ball well in transition and around the box, despite the conditions. no end product yet but some good balls across from the likes of Holmberg
7' Holmberg delivers a ball in but there's too much on it for anyone to get the volley. Foord snatches at it but it ends up with Seynhaave
4' Both teams are just settling into the game, the conditions of the pitch are not the best. It was played on just 24 hours ago and the rain hasn't helped 0-0
1' We're underway!
Lotte Wubben-Moy wears the captain's armband this evening for the Gunners as Kim Little and Kim Little are both on the bench
The teams are lined up and the Champions League anthem has played, the weather at meadow park is not the best, let's hope the pitch holds up ok
