WSL Talking Points: Medina Shines, Arsenal Struggles

Sky Sports Champions League •

Are Arsenal's title chances over already? It seems a touch early to definitely say, but their start has left a lot to be desired. Four games in, they have scored only twice and one of those goals wasn't scored until stoppage time. Their unbeaten run in the WSL has been ended by Chelsea, leaving the Gunners seven points adrift of leaders Man City. Head coach Renee Slegers said she wanted to take pressure off her players, adding, "I believe in these players. The goals will come and the points will come as well."

Andrea Medina was the standout player for Man Utd in their crucial win. She created the most chances (4), took the most touches in the opposition box (11), hit the crossbar, and scored United's second goal. Commentator Gary Taphouse called it "a virtuoso display" on Sky Sports+.

Liverpool defeated Merseyside rivals Everton 2-0 at Anfield, ending a curse where they had lost eight of their last nine home games. Beata Olsson scored the early opener, and Cornelia Kapocs sealed the win. Liverpool move ahead of Everton in the table as their solid start continues, though a tough fixture list looms with a trip to Birmingham and then Manchester United next.
