Arsenal juggernaut rolls on, Russo shines for
Manchester United and Everton lose 100% record after refereeing shambles
Another week, another big win for
Arsenal, now the only side with a 100% record and doing it in style. They are battering teams – this was their second 6-1 win, to add to last week’s 5-0 victory over Brighton and a 9-1 thrashing of West Ham – and if the league does go down to the wire they are already well placed, with a significant goal difference advantage. Vivienne Miedema scored a first-half hat-trick to move ahead of Nikita Parris and become the WSL’s all-time leading scorer and the Gunners are profiting from having a good group of players – Beth Mead, Katie McCabe, Kim Little, Danielle van de Donk – who have been at the club long enough to develop that understanding and synchronicity that good players get over time.
