OH Leuven 0-3 Arsenal: Holders cruise to victory in Belgium

Arsenal cruised to a 3-0 win at OH Leuven but it wasn't enough for the Champions League holders to secure a top-four spot and a direct route to the quarter-finals.

Rene Slegers' side had already secured a play-off place heading into the final matchday but they did still have hope of securing an automatic last-eight spot if they could secure a big win and results elsewhere went their way.

The Gunners played their part as goals from Olivia Smith (18) and Beth Mead (27) put them on course for victory before an own goal from Saar Janssen rounded off a decent evening for the north London side.

Arsenal, who have now secured five successive wins in all competitions, finish the Champions League league phase in fifth and will be seeded for Thursday's draw (12pm) where they will find out whether they will face Atletico Madrid or OH Leuven again in the play-off round in February.
