An impressive turnout of Arsenal fans arrived at the Emirates Stadium hoping the women’s team would set the tone for the day, with the men’s team playing the same opposition later in the day.

They may not have delivered victory on the opening weekend of the WSL season, but they certainly put on a show, scoring first and last in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Manchester City, in which the club’s record goalscorer, Vivianne Miedema, was on the scoresheet for her new club.
