Women: Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal - Report

A late own goal from Sari van Veenendaal condemned us to a 3-2 defeat to Chelsea at Kingsmeadow.

Chelsea threatened early on when Ramona Bachmann’s effort was kept out by Van Veenendaal - but we soon sent a message of our own.

Jordan Nobbs played an inch-perfect ball into the box for Vivianne Miedema, but the Dutch star saw her effort cannon back off the crossbar.

Ji soon hit the post for Chelsea, in a frenzied spell inside our box which ended with Maren Mjelde tapping the ball home to break the deadlock.

We began the second half trailing, but nearly enjoyed a perfect start when Danielle van de Donk’s controlled strike was turned over by Hedvig Lindahl.
