WSL: Arsenal post another clean sheet with win over London City In their first match in three weeks, Arsenal travelled to Copperjax Community Stadium to take on London City Lionesses, where they earned a 2-0 win. The Gunners currently sit fourth in the Women’s Super League table with two games in-hand on the leaders. Meanwhile, London City are in seventh place in their inaugural season in the top flight with just one win in their last five.
However, they have impressed in their maiden campaign, with wins over the likes of Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur. The Gunners secured their latest win thanks to goals from Olivia Smith and Stina Blackstenius. Starting XIs Arsenal Borbe; Wubben-Moy, Fox, Williamson, Little Maanum, McCabe, Russo, Kelly, Smith, Caldentey.
London City Lete; Pattinson, Sangaré, Goldie, Fernández, Geyoro, van de Donk, Marcetto Rylov, Corrales, Godfrey, Franssi. Arsenal keep unbeaten run going with London City win The home side had some excellent pressure early on, and certainly could have taken the lead. Sanni Fraansi sent a perfect cross in for Freya Godfrey.
Unfortunately, her finish went over the crossbar and the score remained 0-0. Arsenal then found the breakthrough in the 15th minute. A pass into the box from Chloe Kelly came right onto Olivia Smith’s foot directly in front of goal.
The Canadian international made no mistake in placing the ball top bin for an early Gunner lead. A medical emergency in the stands paused the game for a short time in the 22nd minute. Once play restarted, the Gunners controlled the play for the rest of the half.
