Arsenal Women v Juventus Femminile in the Champions League group stage at the Emirates Stadium
The Gooners take on Le Bianconere on a very cold night 🥶in North London. The away leg was a draw but Captain Leah is now back from injury. Still going to be a tough game though. Beth and Kim are still missing through injury. Hope the squad can do the job tonight.
The Reds started well but struggled to break down the last line of defence and when they did they were wasteful. Blackstenius hit the net but it was given offside. Nearly all of the play was in the Juve half and Miedema was on target with a volley froma Blackstenius cross. ⚽️. There were more chances but the dominance failed to deliver any more results.
The second half was much more even with both side having chances and Zinsberger finally being called on to make some saves. The was lots of applause when Lead went off and again when midfield pocket rocket Jordon came on. She caused problems down the left but and there were better chances but the second goal wouldn't come. The visitors threatened with a late freekick but it came nothing and it was a relief when the whistle went. Gunners still top of the group.
Was a tough job on such a cold night but it was a professional job on the night. Too many chances missed to be a good watch but shows the quality of the opposition. Big game next week when Wendles Lyon visit.
POTM goes to Caitlin Foord for making so much of the good play happen.
Ref did well until she got grumpy in the last 10 and wouldn't give anything to the home side no matter how blatant.
Scranometer registered a 8.5 for the Vegan hotdog 🐶 with onions 🧅. Tasted better than it looked. Hot chocolate was just a disappointing 7. Not a great result for a Cadbury put water in the cup job. You had 1 job. Much better else where
Another International break for me so see you on the other side.
See you soon
