Report: Arsenal Women 0-2 Aston Villa

It unfortunately ended in defeat on the final game of the season for the Gunners but we clinched Champions League football for another year.

Aston Villa hit two past us at Meadow Park through Rachel Daly and Alisha Lehmann but our superior goal difference over Manchester City meant that third place was secure.

What happened

With our sights set on securing Champions League football next season, our Gunners squared up to Carla Ward’s Villa side in our brand-new home kit at Meadow Park.

We came exceptionally close in the 8th minute as Jodie Taylor’s byline cross found Stina Blackstenius in the six-yard box.
