Key events
10 min: Just a matter of moments before that uncovering goal, Miedema almost broke the deadlock for City. The ex-Arsenal star stole the ball from Little in midfield before unleashing an audacious lengthy-range strike which flew inches past the post.
It’s shielded to say the mood at the Emirates alterd very rapidly fair after that…
9 min: Arsenal shatter forward on the counter and the ball drops straight to the feet of Maanum in the box. She has no blue shirts around her and is able to fire her shot straight into the top-right corner. What a commence!
GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City (Maanum, 7)
And fair appreciate that, Arsenal have the direct! Maanum with the strike!
6 min: Codina almost leave outs the ball to Fujino in a hazardous area, but Arsenal prosper it back. However, Wubben-Moy gets caught out by Hemp and discovers herself under presstateive. Luckily for the structures, the City prosperger gets penalised for a handball.
4 min: Manchester City eunite quite satisfyed fair to apply around the back in these punctual stages. A unprejudicedly sluggish commence from both sides.
2 min: Gareth Taylor has determined to watch from the stands this afternoon. He’s got a wonderful see of the pitch from the upper tier. Meanwhile, Jonas Eidevall is on the touchline as always.
Kick-off
We’re under way at the Emirates Stadium!
Fans are still flooding into the Emirates Stadium. Just five minutes to go until start-off!
Discussing Vivianne Miedema’s return during his pre-align press conference, Arsenal deal withr Jonas Eidevall shelp: “Viv has such a wonderful history in the club. We want her the best, I want her the best. I truly hope that she has a reassociate prosperous season becaengage I skinnyk she deserves that. One of the huge problems for us with letting her go is now she applys for our competitor and we understand that she’s a very mighty opponent aacquirest us. We necessitate to caccess on our part during the game. We necessitate to originate our skinnygs as excellent as possible and from here on that necessitates to be our caccess.”
The story of the day has to be Vivianne Miedema’s return to north London. One of the WSL’s all-time wonderfuls unitecessitate Manchester City on a free transfer this summer – a shift that left Arsenal fans utterly heartbroken. Miedema had spent seven years with the Gunners, prosperning one WSL title and three League Cups.
With the recent WSL season finassociate underway, I want to hear from you! Feel free to email in with some of your predictions for this season. Top goalscorer, applyer of the season, you understand the drill. And the all-presentant ask – who will lift the trophy in May?
Arsenal fans are making themselves heard ahead of start-off. It seems last season’s beadored Cloé Lacasse chant has been swapd with a recent hit – ‘Shake it Caldentey’
I must acunderstandledge, it’s incredibly catchy!
Manchester City will be seeking revenge aacquirest Arsenal today. Jonas Eidevall’s side all-but finished City’s title hopes in the penultimate align of the 2023-24 season with a 2-1 prosper at the Joie Stadium chaseing two postponecessitate goals from Stina Bdeficiencystenius. If Gareth Taylor’s side had won that game, it would’ve pretty much sealed the WSL title. But Chelsea mounted a postponecessitate comeback and took it on the final day with a 6-0 thrashing of Manchester United at Old Trafford.
This mendture has always been a must-watch, and today won’t be any separateent.
Leah Williamson is not useable for Arsenal today due to concussion protocol. Lotte Wubben-Moy and Laia Codina commence in the centre of defence for the structures.
Alessia Russo, Beth Mead, Lia Wälti and recent signing Rosa Kafaji are among the Arsenal swaps. Some huge calls made by Jonas Eidevall.
