ARSENAL Ladies kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 3-1 win over ­Serbia’s ZFK Masinac.

Goals from Rachel Yankey, Gilly Flaherty and Danielle Carter have given the Gunners a heathy first-leg advantage as they look to secure a place in the last 16. Manager Laura Harvey is confident that her team will ­complete the job at Boreham Wood on October 14. “We’ll take nothing for granted against a young side who will never give up battling,” she said.

“Playing at home on a far better playing ­surface will hopefully work in our favour.”
