  1. 'Sublime movement and finish from Foord'published at 20:10 Greenwich Mean Time 12 November 2023

    Leicester 2-3 Arsenal

    What a superb counter from Arsenal!

    They broke so quickly but the key this half is that they have been acting with quality.

    It's great movement from Foord and the finish is sublime. She puts it into the top corner, caresses the ball past Leitzig who had absolutely no chance!

    Caitlin Foord (58 mins)

    Woooowwww!

    Arsenal lead after a burst of three goals in nine minutes. It's a good Leicester attack which is cut out and the Gunners sweep up field, Alessia Russo peels out wide and is onside, she finds Caitlin Foord in the middle and the Australian lifts a first-time beauty over the head of the keeper and into the net.

    Liquid football.

    Arsenal look a totally different side, it's the side in red now who are first to every loose ball and winning every contest. Only a sharp block prevents Frida Maanum from cracking a shot on target.

    Sophie Howard is down needing treatment and that might not be a bad thing for Leicester, who can regroup and get their heads together. It's a 10/10 for the Arsenal half-time teamtalk, anyway...

    Alessia Russo (52 mins)

    It's horrible defending and Arsenal have wiped out that lead in the blink of an eye!

    Arsenal play the ball inside, Leicester try and step out but they get it all wrong, leaving England striker Alessia Russo alone and onside in the heart of the area and she makes no mistake.

    Cloe Lacasse (50 mins)

    That's the start to the second period Arsenal were looking for!

    The ball is put in behind the Leicester backline, Cloe Lacasse is sharp and strong to get there first and hold off a defender before lashing through the legs of Janina Leitzig.

    Could Leicester defender Courtney Nevin have cleared that?

    It's human nature sometimes to sit back and defend a lead, so it will be interesting to see how Leicester approach this second half. They seem to be intent to press Arsenal high though as Missy Goodwin has a shot charged down.

    No changes for Arsenal just yet. Can they rebuild?

    Deanne Rose was impressive in the first half for Leicester but she's not emerged - Missy Goodwin is on for the home side.

  13. 'Arsenal look rattled, they can't cope with Leicester'published at 19:49 Greenwich Mean Time 12 November 2023

    HT: Leicester 2-0 Arsenal

    Chloe Hudson-Jones
    Ex-Leicester midfielder on Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The half time score is absolutely a fair reflection of how that first half panned out.

    This Leicester side want it more, they want to win every challenge, they've gotten very high up the pitch and put this Arsenal side under intense pressure.

    Arsenal look rattled, they just cannot seem to cope with the intensity of Leicester. The tempo is slow, there is no movement, Russo is dropping deep and there is no one there for her to pick out.

    Jonas Eidevall ran straight into the dressing room on the whistle, he will have plenty to say and will no doubt be making some changes at the break.

  14. On the cards?published at 19:42 Greenwich Mean Time 12 November 2023

    HT: Leicester 2-0 Arsenal

    A reminder that Arsenal had won their previous two away WSL games against Leicester both by at least a four-goal margin, winning 5-0 in 2021-22 and 4-0 last season.

    But, Arsenal have lost two of their last six WSL matches on the road (W3 D1), as many as in their previous 23.

    Who saw this coming at the start of the day? It's looking like a very good day for Chelsea.

    Arsenal missed a huge chance, Leicester have put on a clinic.

    Leicester have navigated the added time well - as Cloe Lacasse and Janice Cayman exchange bookings for trips in midfield.

    It's just not clicking for Arsenal.

    They seem to be second to every 50-50 ball, they are on the back foot and slow to react to situations.

    Leicester are full of energy, positive and are taking the game to them at the moment.

    Hannah Cain has space again down the Leicester left but her decision making is not great for once, she leans back and spoons a shot over the top.

  20. INJURY TIMEpublished at 19:32 Greenwich Mean Time 12 November 2023

    Leicester 2-0 Arsenal

    Just the seven (seven) minutes of time to be added on here. Not what Leicester wanted to hear as Arsenal look to nick one back before the break.
