Women's Super League: Bristol City Women 0-4 Arsenal Women
- Published
Arsenal continued their 100% start to the Women's Super League season with a comfortable win at Bristol City.
England's Jordan Nobbs put them ahead with a crisp low finish before feeding Vivianne Miedema for the second.
The Netherlands striker collected Nobbs' pass and tucked in her 10th league goal of the 2018-19 campaign across the face of goal.
Miedema headed in her second of the game late on, moments before Danielle van de Donk fired in Arsenal's fourth.
WSL top scorer Miedema could have added to her tally to claim a third league hat-trick of the season, but was twice denied by the Vixens' keeper Sophie Baggaley inside the first hour.
The deserved victory was Arsenal's sixth from six league games and gave them a three-point lead over second-placed Manchester City, who have played an additional match.
Bristol City manager Tanya Oxtoby told BBC Radio Bristol: "We're disappointed about the result, but positive about the performance.
"We want to win every game but you have to focus on things other than points when you play teams like this. We had clear objectives and probably hit 80% of those for 80% of the game and that is improvement from where we've been.
"The way Arsenal move the ball, they always give you something to think about, so we had to change our shape to try and get ourselves in the game.
"But Arsenal still caused problems, that's always going to happen with the squad they've got."
