Match report: FC Zurich 1-9 Arsenal Women

We signed off the year in style on Wednesday night as we secured top spot in Group C with a dominant 9-1 victory over FC Zurich.

With five different goalscorers, including a hat-trick from Frida Maanum, we delivered a complete team performance from start to finish that saw us climb above Lyon by two points.

Kim Little marked her return from injury with a goal off the bench, while Leah Williamson stepped up as captain at the base of our midfield.

What happened

Despite losing key player Vivianne Miedema to injury in our last Champions League outing, we made a fast start against Zurich and opened the scoring after just 18 minutes through Maanum, who fired a stunning free-kick into the top left corner.
