Amidst howling wind and driving rain, Arsenal stormed to a 4-0 victory over Aston Villa. Interim head coach Renee Slegers remains unbeaten after eight games as the Gunners look to stay the course leading up to the Christmas break.
Braving the elements in the press box alongside a 29,315-strong crowd was Tim Stillman, bringing you his thoughts and reactions as they happened.
Although Villa didn’t create many chances, don’t underestimate how well the defence played – they just didn’t allow anyone to get close. Leah was faultless; she may have had a dodgy patch a few weeks ago but she proved that class is permanent. Taking into account Beth’s performance in the England game as well, I can’t think of another winger who does such a good job in helping out the defence.
