Eidevall on Reid's debut and Wienroither's return

Sunday's 5-0 victory over Bristol City featured two very special - and emotional - moments late on in the game.

First up, Laura Wienroither returned to action for the first time since suffering an ACL injury against Wolfsburg in May 2023, before 17-year-old Katie Reid was also introduced off the bench to make her first senior Arsenal appearance.

"It’s very well deserved for Katie," said Jonas Eidevall in his post-match interview.

"It’s not me trying to be nice, it’s her deserving the playing time. We’ve seen Katie since she’s stepped up to the first team for the first time, she’s an eager learner, she’s a competitor and I think she has an Arsenal DNA in the way she plays.
