Four goals were scored, three points, secured second, a big game for Arsenal this season.
Rene Claighers’ side have confirmed that they will move to the Champions League final against Barcelona on May 24 after a 4-3 win over Manchester United on Saturday.
There are reasons to be happy with the Gunners, who have produced a real attacking strike against United at times, scoring three goals in 16 minutes after the first half, with a total of 16 penalties.
Even against Barça’s Barça champions, who can sign the La Liga Flecture title this weekend, Arsenal have to be able to ask for aggressive questions.
Alisia Russo is the winner of the Premier League Women’s Club with 12 goals, while Arsenal have won their last eight domestic league games with four or more goals each time.
But Arsenal’s concerns are in defence, with 12 goals in their last three WSL scoring. Five of them left against Aston Villa, four of whom were in Brighton’s defeat, then three of them to return to the game to approach Manchester United.
The three-goal pattern of the United will also cause concern. Ella Ton was unsigned to go home and play 1-1 after 13 minutes.
Then in the second half, with Arsenal, who was apparently safe for good, McCaeib’s scary passes on four back players allowed Elizabeth Terland to score before Irish defender Celine beats to confess to the penalty kick, which was changed by Maya Lee Tishir.
“Arsenal opened the door for Manchester United and the door should have been cut off by 4-1,” former England goalkeeper Brown-Finus told the BBC2. “They know that anything is like this from a distance against Barcelona and they will be punished.
“It’s a win and some boxes have struck Sleigers’ goals, which was to finish second place and stay away from extra games next season – but before Barcelona’s game will be a lot of analysis,” he said.
