Arsenal just about deserved the victory tonight, with Miedema proving what an asset she is to any side. She had one sniff of goal and produced a fine finish to ...

71 mins: Mead gets round the back and pulls the ball back to Wienroither who miscues her shot. It is worked short to Spitse who curls in a deeper cross under the crossbar but the goalkeeper claims easily. The balls reaches Mead but she takes her time and the chance is gone. That’s the breakthrough Arsenal have been hoping for. Foord gets into the box but is then forced backwards from inside the six-yard box. 73 mins: HOW DOES IT NOT GO IN?!! Everything is being done at a snail’s pace. Mead is still down and looks in a lot of pain. I personally do not think it was a deliberate but Doorn has caught Mead on the side of the face. Arsenal are unhappy with the clash. 90 mins: Doorn is booked for fouling Mead there. Her Arsenal teammates rush over to her and get her onto her side.

With Champions League football now secured for the season, many of our players are off for a short international break in October. Mead was then taken off owing to concussion protocols, and we played out the final few minutes of the game valiantly with ten players on the pitch. Some very neat interplay at the edge of our box did force a great save from Zinsberger, and Wubben-Moy was on hand at the back post to clear the danger.
