Arsenal Women continued their resurgence under interim head coach Renee Slegers with a 4-0 rout of Juventus in Italy.
The Gunners had won just once in their previous six European trips, but outclassed the Serie A outfit on Tuesday evening in Biella.
Frida Maanum put the Gunners in front with seven first-half minutes remaining following an incisive ball in behind from Caitlin Foord.
Juventus had kept four consecutive clean sheets in domestic football and were able to keep Arsenal at bay, riding their luck when Leah Williamson came close before Emily Fox hit the crossbar.
The home side conceded a crucial second goal when substitute Stina Blackstenius beat former Gunners goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin for power at her near post.
Another introductee from the bench in Mariona Caldentey kept her cool to smash Arsenal's third goal into the roof of the net, before Foord sealed an impressive away win when she tapped home from Kyra Cooney-Cross' low ball.
Arsenal have won their last two Champions League group games after beginning the campaign with a 5-2 defeat to Bayern Munich.
