Arsenal Women continue to hit that sweet spot. Could 2024 be the Gunners year?

With Arsenal Women’s recent 2-0 victory over Liverpool, our Gunners have now won four consecutive games, putting them on a perfect run in 2024.

On Match Day 1 of the WSL, the Reds were fortunate to take a 1-0 win over Arsenal at the Emirates. However, on Sunday, Eidevall and the girls had the ideal response to their matchday 1 setback.

Liverpool attempted to repeat their game plan from Match Day 1, playing with a low block and hoping to catch Arsenal on the counterattack, but it did not succeed this time. Arsenal demonstrated their wisdom and prowess by defeating Liverpool, despite the Reds defensive tactics to frustrate them.

Emily Fox broke the deadlock in the 60th minute after winning the ball and dribbling to set up Vivianne Miedema’s worldie. Nine minutes later, Fox was at it again, she fed Russo who blasted the ball across the goal for Caitlin Foord to tap in, doubling Arsenal’s lead. The Reds were unable to turn things around as Arsenal secured another critical victory.

Who stood out in that match? I’m not sure about you, but Emily Fox, Vivianne Miedema, and Alessia Russo impressed me.

Emily Fox is continuing to demonstrate what a game-changer signing she is; she has unlocked a new dynamic of this Arsenal team that we never imagined conceivable; her sprints and dribbles simply make this Arsenal team click. She very deservedly earned Player of the Match.

Fox’s game in numbers:

90 minutes
65 accurate passes
2 key passes
1 assist
105 touches
