Leah Williamson handball drama explained as Renee Slegers misses Arsenal post-match press conference

Arsenal surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Paris FC in the UEFA Women's Champions League after a bizarre handball from defender Leah Williamson resulted in an 87th-minute penalty. Following the frustrating result, Arsenal head coach Renee Slegers skipped her mandatory post-match press conference, with assistant coach Aaron D'Antino answering questions instead.

Arsenal had led through goals by Alessia Russo and Georgia Stanway before Clara Mateo scored in the 72nd minute. Williamson then handled a goal kick from goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez, believing it had not yet been taken. Slegers was reportedly too angry to fulfill her UEFA media obligations following the late collapse.
