Women's Super League News
Goals from Kerolin and Vivianne Miedema cemented Manchester City's place at the top of the Women's Super League table with a 2-0 victory over Everton.
Arsenal boss Renee Slegers admitted frustration at goalkeeper timeouts that stunted play during a goalless draw with Manchester United in the Women's Super League (WSL) and said a solution needs to be found.
A goalless draw between Man United and Arsenal likely ended both sides' distant hopes of challenging for the WSL title.
Leah Williamson made her first start this season as Arsenal were held to a goalless draw by Man United.
Renee Slegers is relishing the opportunity to "continue to build" at Arsenal after signing a new deal as head coach until 2029.
