Report: Arsenal Women 2-1 Manchester City Women

We secured a massive statement victory in the Barclays Women's Super League against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.

Our first game back at Meadow Park this season saw goals from Steph Catley and Stina Blackstenius as we moved up to fourth in the WSL table.

What happened

Jonas Eidevall made two changes to the starting XI from our last WSL match against Bristol City, with Amanda Ilestedt and Cloe Lacasse stepping in.

It was a frantic start to proceedings at both ends and in the first of several huge defensive interventions, Ilestedt denied an early chance from Bunny Shaw with a perfectly-timed sliding block.
