Arsenal vs Valerenga - LIVE!
Arsenal have begun life without Jonas Eidevall with victory over Valerenga in the Women’s Champions League. Last week’s 5-2 loss against Bayern Munich left interim boss Renee Slegers needing to oversee a victory at the Emirates Stadium and the hosts got off to the perfect start when Emily Fox was in the right place at the right time to sweep the ball into the back of the net as early as the second minute.
Caitlin Foord doubled Arsenal's lead on the half hour mark as she fired the ball into the roof of the net after Beth Mead had been denied. However, there was to be no clean sheet for the Gunners to celebrate as Olaug Tvedten found the bottom corner following good work from Karina Sævik.
Strikes from Mariona Caldentey and Alessia Russo in the final five minutes added gloss to the scoreline and Arsenal move up the table to second, level on points with Juventus, whom they play home and away next month, by virtue of a superior goal difference.
