HIGHLIGHTS | Arsenal vs Brighton (4-0) | WSL | Little, Blackstenius, Mead (2)
Спорт
We made a victorious start to our Women’s Super League campaign with a resounding 4-0 win against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Goals from Stina Blackstenius, Kim Little, and Beth Mead secured our first three points of the season in front of a sellout Meadow Park crowd.
It was also an evening for reflection. Players wore black armbands and stood together for a minute's silence for Her Majesty The Queen. We also paid tribute to one of our own, Maria Petri, who sadly passed away earlier this year. A plaque has been permanently installed in her favourite seat at Meadow Park.
The game was plunged into early drama when Brighton’s Emma Kullberg was shown a straight red card after only six minutes of play. As Stina Blackstenius was played through on goal, Kullberg was the last remaining defender and brought our striker down just outside the penalty area.
After the sending-off, Brighton defended resolutely and became harder to break down. Leah Williamson’s diagonal balls did manage to routinely unlock space on the left, with Caitlin Foord having an excellent first half down the wing.
In one early chance, our Aussie forward picked the ball up and danced past three Brighton defenders, to put her shot just to the left of the post. It was Foord who made the decisive cross to break the deadlock after half an hour of play. She raced down the left wing once again, leaving the Brighton defence in the dust, and played it short to our skipper Kim Little. Little then buried it in the back of the net, scoring the first goal of the 2022/23 WSL season.
Vivianne Miedema continued to thrive in our number 10 position, making a series of beautifully weighted through-balls into dangerous areas. One such ball found Blackstenius on a marauding run and while the Swede's shot beat the keeper, it was denied by a rattling crossbar.
Just before the half-time whistle, Lia Walti tried her luck with a well-struck shot from range that was only just saved by Megan Walsh in the Brighton goal.
The visitors started the second half brightly and forced Manu Zinsberger into her first save of the night, but the centre-back partnership of Williamson and Sousa was rarely challenged beyond that.
Blackstenius continued to threaten the Brighton goal and finally got her well-earned goal on 50 minutes, with a rocket of a strike that soared into the roof of the net and doubled our lead.
Beth Mead, fresh from a staggering summer at the Euros, got her first goal of the night soon after. A neat cut-back from Miedema found Mead by the penalty spot and she rifled home.
Summer signing Lina Hurtig made her Arsenal debut as a substitute for fellow Swede Blackstenius and she immediately made an impact, running between the lines and providing an absurdly skilful aerial backheel to set Beth Mead free down the wing.
A goal for Miedema was ruled out for offside by the officials but we did eventually get our fourth goal, seven minutes from time. Mead rescued a loose ball in the box and wriggled past the keeper to get her second.

even if it was a 4-0, let's be honest, the Brighton goalkeeper played and defended very well.
Both the Men's team and women's team are Top of the Table 😎. Wonderful performance by Beth Mead, my Player of the Match ❤️

It’s so good to see every Arsenal team doing well the men the women the youth big up to everyone involved with the club 😁👍🏼
4:15 They made it look too easy 🔥🔥
Amazing long range passes 🙌🏻🔥
Mead should come and combine with G Jesus in one exhibition match.
great to see Jordan Nobbs back playing and she was unlucky with her shot hitting the bar, hope she gets more games & less injuries this season, great bunch of ladies at Arsenal
Packed ground! Brilliant
Imagine Beth Mead playing top with G.Jesus.
Glad to see all of Arsenal have been doing excellently this season! Great match! 💪💪
What is Kim Little's main position? Everytime I watch the ladies, she's everywhere in midfield 👏👏👏

That 4th goal was 🔥 🔥 🔥
Pure dominance 💪💪
Beautiful football ladies. However, the backline seems shaky especially with the CBs. And I've noticed Miedema doesn't score as many goals nowadays but she's still a team player setting others up to score. Credit to her.
I’m so proud of the progress of arsenal
I hope that's Meidema still stay at club for more years
Captain fantastic Kim🎉🎉❤
Quá đỉnh
Well done ladies
Arsenal is special ❤️🤍
Our girls doing the most
Both Men and Female teams have had a good start of the season👏

I see a player who is capable of shining in men's league

always like that since day 1 i dont know why.. maybe save for another documentary in winning the league this season.. so, highlights for mens team 1 minutes is enough
Womens pants are a different design from the men’s. Why? Is that to introduce some sex appeal?
Where is the men highlights 😞
