Manchester City rally to beat Arsenal 4-2 and deepen the trouble
City won 4-2 at the Etihad to keep a perfect start with five wins; Arsenal sit 10 points off the pace after one league win.
Manchester City piled further pressure on Arsenal with a comeback to win 4-2 in the Barclays Women’s Super League, a result that keeps the champions on top. The home side returned to the summit after extending a five-game winning run to start the season.
Arsenal looked brighter in the first half and created the better chances. Lisa Baum, Emily Fox and Georgia Stanway all went close, and it was Baum who broke the deadlock late in the first period, bundling home from close range for 1-0.
Once City turned the game, the scoreline swung fully in their favour. The wider impact is clear for Renee Slegers’ team: Arsenal are now 10 points behind and have recorded just one league win all campaign, according to Sky Sports.
