Asia Cup final is Australia v Japan, plenty of WSL players involved.

I've got a soft spot for the Nadeshiko but the Matildas have three Arsenal players, so I will be rooting for them.

Arsenal had a good day today!!!

Arsenal were brilliant today! Chloe Kelly had a great game.

What a goal from Chloe Kelly!

It was!

That was not a foul, Arsenal got lucky there

I don't know. She stopped our player defending the goal. Yes, it was soft, but players should stop putting both hands on the opposition if they don't want the goal to be disallowed.

I disagree, as do Nikita and Ellen

I think Chelsea were unlucky with the disallowed goal but ultimately I want Arsenal to win so... 😉

Sorry Arsenal but that was a great goal.

Unfortunately that's very good.

Arsenal need a goal or two to take to Stamford Bridge.

Russo delivered

I love Alessia Russo. I don't think she always gets the credit she deserves.

Yes, she does so much throughout the match and very rarely mis-directs a pass.

Her goal was very good too.

Another Alessia Russo appreciation post. 😊

I missed our Derby, for the best as I read they were dreadful.

They were for what I saw. I turned over after about an hour for the Manchester derby. I think they rallied a bit after Liverpool had a player sent off.

Alessia Russo is fantastic.

Absolute howler from the goalie but incredibly well taken by Russo.

Hat trick in 21 mins. Maybe she can play for the Men's team...

Well, Victor scored a hat-trick for Sweden a couple of days ago. Shame he can't do it if for us.

I agree-interesting to listen to the commentary about that-that
"Sweden supports him differently and we are un used to playing with a straight striker. That he needs the service that he gets in Sweden."
I can see that a bit but the PL is a different animal. I still think he will get us much needed goals. 🙏

Bit hairy at the end but so pleased for Arsenal... 🎉🎉🎉

(I did only see the last 15 minutes as I was out but it seems that's when it sparked into life!)

I didn't see either match tonight but this has beengoing round on SM

Arsenal & Chelsea’s clash ends in complete chaos. Shortly after Chelsea scored a late goal to keep their UWCL dreams alive, Katie McCabe is not disciplined for pulling Alyssa Thompson’s hair. Manager Sonia Bompastor was sent off for protesting.
