Leicester City goalscorer Janice Cayman speaking to Sky Sports: "First half we were excellent and were up 2-0 at half time. Then in the second half we come out and we felt that Arsenal clearly got words from their manager at the break and went in hard.

"At that moment we lost our bravery and courage and they killed us with the through pass and it just kept going and going unfortunately for us."

On if confidence fell away as the game went on: "Yes I think so. We should have got a penalty at 2-3 which killed our mometum as well. On that counter attack they scored to make it 2-4 and then you know it is going to be a tough one to get back.

"They were very efficient with the through ball and it is a big lesson for us to learn."

On lessons to take forward from the game: "The first half we were really good and we need to learn to do this for 90 minutes. 45 minutes is a good start but we will learn a lot from the video from this game.

"We are a young group, a mixed group and it is a good game for us to learn from for the future."

Arsenal

More from Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall speaking to Sky Sports on their lack of clean sheets:

"We work on it and there is not much else that we can do. I'm quite annoyed that we're not having clean sheets. I think some games it's been a bit undeserved not having clean sheets because we haven't conceded that many goal-scoring opportunities.

"Today in the first half we allowed big ones against us so it's not a coincidence we concede and we need to look at that. We can't turn over the ball in vulnerable areas and we did that twice today.

"Leicester are very brave in the way they play and they stick to their guns. It makes for an entertaining game but we want to have a clean sheet and keep hold of the ball much better."

Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall speaking to Sky Sports:

"To be honest it was a bit emotional at half time because we needed to apply ourselves much better in terms of the individual duels on the pitch. Apart from that we kept all the structure, sometimes that's the hardest part because you can get tricked by the result and think that you need to change the structure but we didn't.

"From a structure perspective it's not that different but when you choose to play the way that Leicester does if you lose the one v one duels high up the pitch you get very exposed. But if you win those duels you have great numbers to play the ball forward. We chose to be quite brave in setting up the one v one situations and Leicester were the better team in the first half but second half it was us. We just need to see what we do in our application.

"That's great football players in action. I was delighted to see Victoria Pelova and Kyra Cooney-Cross in midfield today. They were running the show for us in there and it was great to see. The attacking football we played in the second half had some great passages which resembles the Arsenal way of playing and that should be the standard going forward."

Leicester City

Leicester City boss Willie Kirk speaking to Sky Sports:

On decisions from the officials: "At 2-6 it doesn't make a difference but at 2-3 when we should have had a penalty to level and they score 15 seconds later, the game is over at that point in terms of our players being shocked and wounded. It looks like a stonewall penalty.

"I don't think we got many decisions tonight. The decisions that Arsenal would have wanted to go their way, they got. And I thought we got about half of what we should have got - there is not much you can do about that but get in control of the things we can control even better."

On Arsenal's attacking prowess: "Every attack they just seemed to tuck away. It was really hard to do anything about it - there were a few moments where we were half a yard off it, but at the highest level and switch off you get punished.

"There will be lots to learn from that game, there was so much that happened both good and bad."

Same, Willie.

Leicester City boss Willie Kirk speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm going to need a couple of days to get over that I think. What a lesson it is to show us how good we can be, and then what can happen to you if you are off it by even half a yard.

"I thought Arsenal were supremely clinical in terms of their counter attacks, they had a few chances that they left on the pitch that they will probably be frustrated with too. They were incredible in that period.

"We gave a good account of ourselves to go in two-nil up. Our goals were good, we were delighted with that. Our game plan was courageous and brave and our play was good.

"There were still things we wanted to improve on, our build up could have been better, but it was a great first half."

Arsenal midfielder and Player of the Match Victoria Pelova speaking to Sky Sports: "I don't believe what happened. We were two goals behind and it took us five minutes to score our first two goals. It was an amazing game."

On the first half: "I don't know what happened. I think it would have been a different game if I had scored the first chance, and then they just scored two. I don't know why that happened."

On the half time team talk: "Leicester go one for one, so we were told that we just had to beat our opposite player, that is what the manager said. We just had to be better than in the first half. Then we went out and we did great."

On if it is a statement win for the team: "I don't listen to what people on the outside say, but I think that we just need to look at the season as a game-by-game situation and not look back from now. Just try to win the next one and the one after, every game that we have.

"Leicester gave us a lot of space second half so that helped us a lot, but we have to always play like this [the second half performance]."

Leicester City have lost after scoring the opening goal in the Women's Super League for the first time since 30th October 2022 against Reading - ending a run of seven such games without defeat.

For Arsenal they have needed a turning point for their season, they have stumbled in the first few weeks so that second half has to be the new standard.

They need to push on from this. They could have fallen into the bottom half at two-nil down at half time and now they sit in second place.

They have players coming back, players performing and players scoring.

Performances up until today had not been up to the Arsenal standard.

Beth Mead gets some playful slaps across the face from team-mates - she can't believe she didn't cash in with a goal or two in that second half either.

For Leicester it is just a case of taking the positives from the first half and learning from this second half.

As good as Arsenal have been Leicester have been far too wide open, they have lost the midfield battle, strolling back to help out the defence instead of running.

Maybe they just got ahead of themselves after that lofty first-half performance.

Astonishing half of football. Arsenal took care of business in ruthless fashion as they go second in the WSL.

Remember when Leicester went 2-0 up?

When that went through you knew Hurtig was going to score.

She took time to slow down, compose herself and slot the ball into the near post - she outfoxed the keeper who would probably have expected her to go across goal.

Into the 97th minute we go. We haven't actually had a goal for more than 20 minutes now...

And now Beth Mead is denied by a great save by Janina Leitzig! The space again, so much space down that channel...

And now Beth Mead hits the post, at full stretch at the far post! That's three shots against the woodwork since half-time, to add to the five Arsenal have netted.

A sign quite literally nobody wanted, or needed to see as we get 10 minutes added on.
