Two goals from Caitlin Foord and one apiece from Stina Blackstenius, Beth Mead and Victoria Pelova secured a 5-1 win for Arsenal against Leicester and moved the London side to within three points of the Women’s Super League leaders, Chelsea, albeit having played a game more.
It was stylish and entertaining from Renée Slegers’s side and the manager praised the players for putting on a show. “Entertainment is important,” she told Sky Sports. “We’re a big club, a big brand, we play to win but I also feel a responsibility to play in a way that is entertaining because we want people to support what we’re doing and we want it to be inspiring. That’s important for me.”
