    Spurs did what they could, but didn't react quickly enough to having two for the short corner and allowed a ball in. The defenders can't quite get across. Ashleigh Neville can't quite get up quick enough and it is the simplest of glances of headers for Miedema.

    What a reception from the Euro 2022 star. A standing ovation as she walks around the ground. She's not going to forget that.

  7. Arsenal 4-0 Tottenham

    Spurs look like a team well beaten. It's been more than half an hour since they last attempted a shot.

    They've sent on Angharad James, Nikola Karczewska and Ramona Petzelberger but this game is all but over as a contest.

    It is a great header by Rafaelle. She has to check her run and from a standing jump, an exceptional header from Rafaelle.

    She had an excellent game, both in and out of possession. Not being particularly tested but that is a towering header from the Brazilian centre-half.
