Midfielder Kim Little equalised with a low shot, but Wolfsburg captain Nadine Kessler converted a rebound after Emma Byrne had blocked her penalty.But after we equalised we started to play a bit and I thought we were in with a right good chance. The Gunners might have been in with a chance if striker Ellen White had not scuffed a six-yard shot wide three minutes later.This is the third successive season that the Gunners, winners in 2007, have lost in the semi-finals.Wagner put Wolfsburg ahead in the 14th minute at the Volkswagen Arena when her looping header struck the underside of the bar and then the far post before dropping over the line. Wagner then shot against the angle of post and bar as Wolfsburg looked for a killer goal straight after the interval. The Gunners missed the opportunity to contest next month's Champions League final at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge, but have the chance to quickly bounce back as they face Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final at Anfield on Friday.And there were no complaints from recently appointed manager Shelley Kerr, who was in control of a Champions League campaign for the first time. The home side had already gone close on two occasions and should have wrapped up the tie by half-time.
