A point was salvaged as Arsenal began their WSL campaign in front of over 41,000 people at Emirates Stadium. Frida Maanum opened up the scoring for the Gunners, Manchester City took the lead thanks to goals from Vivianne Miedema (it just had to be) and Jess Park. Beth Mead helped spare the blushes of Jonas Eidevall’s side to settle for a stalemate in the 81st minute.
Tim Stillman was watching from the press box and shared his in-game reactions and insights.
Women Man City – Arsenal 2 – 2
Men Man City – Arsenal 2 – 2
Perfect equality but I prefer a “2 – 1” equality next time.
