Can’t hide it, won’t hide it: Sam Kerr late equalizer hurt. The very generous penalty awarded to Caitlin Foord and smoothly dispatched by Kim Little seemed to be enough to edge Chelsea, who defended well in a rather passive display, but the Australian striker had different ideas.We had a few chances that we didn’t convert, […]
It’s fair to say that the players did their best to ensure we would all have a nice winter break: the thumping of Zurich in Schaffhausen was embellished with some truly spectacular goals and skills, with Frida Maanum’s delicate free kick scooping the virtual goal of the night award. The Norwegian wonderkid, who is truly […]
It was a very even game, at the Emirates Stadium, and Lyon emerged as winners thanks to an own goal scored by Frida Maanum just before half-time. Officiating has been – once again – very poor as the goal should have been disallowed for a clear offside: Malard might have not touched the ball, but […]
Another day, another win for our girls, who fought off a determined Aston Villa side to claim the three points at Villa Park. Despite falling behind within six minutes in an artic night, Katie McCabe & Co. managed to stay composed, keep their heads cool and see out a very assertive four-one win away from […]
What a crucial, welcome, deserved win at the Emirates Stadium for the Arsenal Women team, against Juventus. After being held to a draw in Turin, Jonas Eidevall’s side managed to see off the Italians and make a big step towards the knock-out phase. It is not done yet, but we are incredibly close to sealing […]
It could have been easier. It should have been easier. We held on to the goal scored by Vivianne Miedema and got a truly deserved win, but Everton had two huge chances to equalize and snatch a very unlikely point at Meadow Park. Although we cannot prevent opponents from having chances to score, we ought […]
As soon as the final whistle went, I was feeling disappointed. We dominated the possession for a vast majority of the game, didn’t concede much, had at least three great chances to win the game and yet we had to settle for a draw in Turin, home of Joe Montemurro’s Juventus. Of the two teams […]
At home. To Manchester United.It doesn’t get much worse than this, in terms of ending an amazing 14-games win streak. Maybe Manchester United didn’t deserve to snatch the whole three points but they didn’t deserve to lose, for sure. From our side, we looked disjointed and insecure: we couldn’t keep hold of the ball, distances […]
Winning at home to West Ham might not be the fondest memory some of the die-hard Arsenal Women’s fans have but it was very special to me, as it was the first Arsenal Women game I ever attended. Despite arriving late to Meadow Park (!) I didn’t miss much and could see the awful mix-up […]
Jonas spoke, the players listened.The Swede was very vocal about the need of being humble after the win in Lyon, pushing away any talk about us winning the Champions League or being favourites to replicate our success from 2007, and the team responded with a mature, assured performance against Zurich.Goals from Jordan Nobbs and Lina […]
