Arsenal Women opened their WSL season with an impressive 3-2 win over last season’s champions Chelsea Ladies.
The Gunners made some special signings this summer including Mana Iwabuchi and Nikita Parris, and we have taken that positivity into the new term with an exciting win over our rivals.
IT didn’t take long before we found ourselves in front with Miadema continuing her fine form in front of goal, but we were pegged back on the stroke of half-time.
We weren’t level for long however as Beth Mead netted to put us back ahead, before she doubled our lead just 10 minutes later, but the Blues refused to go down without a fight, getting straight back into the game, but despite their efforts, they couldn’t get a crucial third to level once again.
The perfect start to our @BarclaysFAWSL season! 🤩

Will it be Arsenal’s season?
Patrick
a really really good game
we shouldnt have won if we are being honest as meads ”winner” was offside but i’ll take it anyway.
It was a great showcase for the WSL
The fans were great and to top it off Tobin Heath!
what a player she is, probably the next best thing we can get to our great Kelly Smith in terms of quality.
really proud of the girls!
I second that!
👍 Nice one, Val. Great seeing them at the Emirates – about time!!
Chelsea conceded 3 goals against us when they conceded only 10 during the whole WSL last season.this could be the season we win the title back,I was a bit worried when Joe left ,but they took their time to name his successor but it seems to be the right appointment,I’m very positive about this season.lastly I’m not a big fan of Hayes.
That was a massive win for us, Siamois! If how we played [at both ends] is a sign of things to come, we’re in for a belter of a season! And well done to Jonas – loved his reaction at the final whistle, you could see it meant the world to him!!
Looking forward to watching it all pan out COYG
👍,yep great to see,by the way will we get more regular articles on the women’s team on JA this season?
