Little a dead-cert for Olympics,
Chelsea find winning formula, Everton staying positive despite defeat
Phil Neville has a nightmare task choosing just 18 names for next year’s Olympic squad but at least one decision will by easy – Kim Little will be in it. She scored Arsenal’s first goal in a 4-0 win over Brighton at the end of an excellent move, had a hand in the second and set up Jordan Nobbs for the fourth. Nobbs’ goal was a little fortunate, ricocheting off a couple of legs on its way through a crowded penalty area and past an unsighted goalkeeper, but it is fantastic to see her back in goalscoring form after her long injury lay-off and her cushioned pass to set up Vivienne Miedema’s goal was pure class. In this form
Arsenal are a joy to watch and, even if
Manchester City are still keeping pace with them at the top of the table with 100% records, will win the league at a canter. The Gunners seem to have worked their way past the defensive vulnerability of last season and with Lia Walti also back after long-term injury this could be another Arsenal Invincibles team in the making.
