Report: Arsenal 4-1 London City Lionesses

We began our Barclays Women's Super League campaign with a comprehensive 4-1 win over London City Lionesses at Emirates Stadium.

After falling behind early, a fantastic strike from debutant Olivia Smith kick-started our comeback, before Chloe Kelly, Stina Blackstenius and Frida Maanum put our Gunners fully in command.

WHAT HAPPENED

38,000 supporters took in the sunshine at Emirates Stadium for the start of the Barclays Women’s Super League season, as our European Champions took on the newly-promoted London City Lionesses.

Renée Slegers handed a debut to summer signing Olivia Smith, who sprang into action early with some nice interplay with Emily Fox down the wing.
