The in-form Caitlin Foord scored twice as Arsenal hammered Spurs in the north London derby.

Maanum threaded an angled through pass to Pelova, whose shot was diverted wide by the left leg of the outrushing Korpela. At that stage Spurs were in danger of being overrun, but Bethany England’s emphatic penalty has given them hope for the future, and indeed the second half. Arsenal have maded a really fast start to the second half. The Arsenal pressure has been relentless since half-time. McCabe is tripped by Turner, and the referee again has no hesitation. 66 min Arsenal certainly deserve to be two goals ahead but I’m not having that penalty decision. 72 min On that Arsenal penalty, I forgot to say that, when it was awarded, Ashleigh Neville walked straight across to lean over Katie McCabe. Williamson nicks the ball off Spence on the halfway line, with Little quickly moving it forward to Maanum. As things stand, in fact, Arsenal and Manchester United have identical records: P15 W11 D2 L2 F38 A9 Pts 35. 81 min Arsenal aren’t settling for five. The referee decides there wasn’t enough contact for a penalty, and that’s fair enough I think. Arsenal start their big week in style by hammering Spurs in the north London derby.
