00:00the two managers placing wreaths on the edge of the pitch and then a shake of
00:09hands between Rick Passmore and Renee Slagers
00:13Phoebe Cross has already spoken to the two captains
00:25Janice Kamen for the home side Kim Little the captain for the Arsenal side
00:43everybody back from international duties back to the bread and butter of the Barclays
00:55Women's Super League Leicester hoping to continue their unbeaten run Arsenal
00:59keen to add another win to their tally
01:02and it is Arsenal who get us underway quickly forward to Blackstenius
01:14and Leicester City having to clear the danger immediately
01:19well Arsenal starting rather positively Jenner
01:27on the front for Blackstenius there just showing early glint glances of what she's
01:32good at stretching that back line and Leicester back line can't afford to switch off
01:37short corner that's taken McCabe who lifts it in it's struck through bodies comes
01:42back for a left-footed strike that goes wide of the goal from Taylor Hines
01:48back from her England debut of course Taylor Hines
01:57but this was the moment right at the start
02:01of this game Steena Blackstenius we know what she can do with a football and Arsenal
02:11indicating their intentions here this afternoon at the King Power of course a reminder of where the
02:19two sides are in the table at the moment Arsenal fifth currently on 11 points Leicester
02:25on five points in ninth place in the Women's Super League wins yesterday for Chelsea and Manchester City
02:35with Mariona
02:40with Mariona
02:42now it's McCabe who's racing down the wing another cross in from the islands international
02:49Leicester City trying clear picked up by
02:54Kodina making her first WS appearance today ball is back across might come back out to McCabe
03:01it's all about defense for Leicester City at the moment Jenna it is Arsenal started really well on
03:09the front foot putting pressure on Leicester right from the off and this across to the far post
03:14and Asmita Ale was the player who just got in the way of that cross as it was aimed towards Bethmead
03:22it goes out for another corner yeah really important interception there from Ale
03:28the Bethmead early glimpses rare start for her today
03:32shows her quality out in the wide area just using her pace
03:35a little bit of skill to get past the defender
03:38really good start from Arsenal who notoriously start very well in games
03:42they do played less than three minutes here and it's another corner for the visitors
03:48another one that's taken short
03:51Leicester at the moment are struggling to get this ball away from their penalty area
03:59they are I think that they look a bit rattled out there in the opening two minutes it's been
04:03a lot of pressure there from Arsenal
04:06got a switch on get a bit of control on the ball
04:10few few passes get that confidence up
04:13some maybe surprises in the Arsenal team selection but hearing from Renee Slager as a
04:21head of the game she said a few players have come back from international duty with knocks
04:25with illness as well
04:27that's kind of often what club managers anticipate unfortunately isn't it when
04:34players have gone off to play for their countries that
04:36they might not come back fully fit and ready for club action
04:40yeah and I think especially for the top teams who's you know their squads are full of internationals
04:45it's always a problem that they have but I think it gives players like
04:49Beth Mead like Blackstenius who aren't necessarily regular starters to
04:53to prove their point get out there and earn their shirt today
04:56take the opportunity I think Arsenal this season would be frustrated
05:01with their performances in the opening phase of games and the international break I think came
05:06at a good time for them to to reflect and yeah Beth Mead I think she's got a different role in this
05:12squad this season hasn't started as many games as she'd like so it's good to see her out there and
05:16see what she can do good with an assist though Beth Mead yeah 50 WSL assists
05:24yeah it's extraordinary to talk about a squad as strong as Arsenal that can't find a regular place for for Beth Mead in it
05:34no Olivia Smith of course at the moment who is one of those players who is missing for
05:41Renee Slagers at the moment ball is back with Van Domsala
05:47forwards to Mariona and picked up by Catley
05:56back to Mariona Caldente again infield to her captain Little
06:03Leicester trying to win the ball back but Arsenal continue to hold on to possession
06:10finally it comes to Tierney now a touch to take it infield for Leicester City
06:18and might they have successfully got behind the Arsenal defence the flag raised by the referee's
06:23assistant will tell you that Hannah Kane offside that time but that's about as good as Leicester
06:29City have created so far yeah I think Hannah Kane needs to do a lot better in that situation her team
06:34have worked hard to get the ball back being under enormous pressure so it's in those moments that
06:39they've got to be better and look after the ball and not almost gift it back to Arsenal
06:43Welsh international in this Leicester City side
06:48here it's with
06:52Mariona Caldente
06:55back to Ford
06:57out to Caldente
07:01now quick pass from
07:02Katie McCabe who got a 100th
07:05cap for Ireland
07:06recently
07:07now with Little
07:11transfer
07:13across in from that wing
07:15Little touchdown to Russo
07:17and Arsenal take the leads
07:20ball in from the right hand side
07:24Alessia Russo
07:26gives Arsenal an early lead at the King Power
07:31Leicester City 0
07:32Arsenal 1
07:33yeah really good Beth Mead there
07:35Queen of the assists again out on that right hand side
07:38whips the ball in
07:40it almost fell behind Blackstenius who couldn't reach it
07:43and it falls into the path of Russo who makes no mistake
07:46smashes it home gets her hips around it
07:48fires it down
07:50the keeper there just got a little hand on it
07:54but the power initially a little bubble before her
07:56takes the ball into the back of the net
07:58it's fantastic start from Arsenal
08:00should we say that Blackstenius meant that
08:02absolutely I'm sure she'll call that
08:05she knew what she was doing
08:06and if you're going to find a player
08:09find Alessia Russo right
08:11absolutely but yeah credit to Beth
08:13out on that wide area
08:16it was a good team goal
08:17really patient build up
08:18I think now for Arsenal
08:20they've started well
08:21they've got to try and find that second goal and third goal
08:24and really punished teams
08:25they've struggled to do that so far this season
08:27just the 1-0 win against Brighton in their last women's Super League match
08:32and that was an own goal in that game
08:34and that followed a little wobble from this Arsenal side
08:38a couple of draws and a defeat
08:40and there aren't enough games really to afford to drop too many points in this league
08:47no absolutely I think I'd say
08:49today's a must win for Arsenal
08:51given the results yesterday
08:52with Chelsea and Man City both winning
08:54having that gap between them and the top of the table even bigger
08:59so yeah
08:59need a big performance from Arsenal today
09:02against a Leicester team who have
09:03frustrated a lot of teams this season defensively
09:06you know they're hard to beat
09:07they're very compact
09:08the manager spoke in his pre-match interviews about
09:12building that identity
09:14but I think the foundations are there for them definitely defensively
09:18just about going forwards
09:19having a little bit more personality
09:21and causing more problems for teams in the final third
09:25just saw Swaby there with a clearance
09:28she's another player who's had a bit of travelling to do
09:32on international duty
09:33the Jamaican international
09:36now Mariona Kaldente to Little
09:39looking for Mead again
09:44Ale trying to stand in her way
09:47and
09:51Mead make sure it goes out of play for
09:54Arsenal's latest corner
09:55of this game
09:57already with a lead
09:59and we haven't played 10 minutes yet
10:02here
10:02males have a hands full out there on that wide side
10:09with Beth Mead who's made an
10:10instant impact
10:12starting this game
10:14you can see that quality there
10:17never leaves you does it
10:18and she's picked up right where she's left off
10:20another corner for Arsenal
10:23it's McCabe who's going to lift it straight in
10:25and it's collected by
10:27Yanila Leitzig
10:29who encourages her team to get forward
10:35made eight saves in the draw against Aston Villa
10:40Yanila Leitzig
10:42all back to Catley
10:47quickly forward from Mariona Kaldente
10:51Swaby's trying to hold off Black Stenios
10:53did really well there
10:56just to keep up with
10:58the Arsenal number 25
11:00and also make sure that she got that right
11:03yeah she had to get it right
11:04Black Stenios was getting the burners on
11:06to knock the ball passer
11:07but Swaby just using her strength there
11:09just to usher Black Stenios off the ball
11:12that's probably the third time now
11:14Arsenal teammates are looking to fly
11:17but Black Stenios is just hanging off the shoulder
11:19of the defender ready to make those runs
11:21into the space behind
11:22that goal from Alessia Russo
11:26only her third in the Women's Super League this season
11:30the other two came in the win against West Ham
11:34but her most recent goals
11:37both came in the Champions League
11:39the loss against Lyon
11:40and then Arsenal's last game
11:43before the international break
11:45which was the win against Benfica
11:47in the Champions League
11:48here it's a run for
11:53coming down the
11:56right wing for Leicester
11:59but now it's picked up by
12:00the goal scorer
12:02Russo
12:03Heinz crosses halfway
12:06Meade
12:10Heinz is carried on going
12:12really interesting story from Taylor Heinz
12:15obviously coming back to Arsenal
12:17after
12:17that time at Liverpool
12:19and the fact that she's now
12:21being recognised internationally
12:24with her England call-up
12:25yeah she's done a full circle
12:27hasn't she
12:27obviously played for
12:28Jamaica
12:29and
12:29since joining Arsenal
12:31she's been called back to the
12:33Lionesses team
12:34and is making
12:35you know
12:36her case well known
12:37she's
12:37starting to get regular
12:39minutes
12:40with Arsenal
12:41which is a
12:42really difficult team
12:43to get in
12:44but they rate her highly
12:45and
12:45yeah she's certainly
12:46earning her shirt
12:49and doing very well
12:49in this Arsenal set-up
12:51which is
12:51a difficult team
12:52to break into
12:53ball is back with
12:57Kodina
12:59made her first
13:01appearance this season
13:02as an 84th minute
13:04sub
13:04in the Champions League
13:06game against
13:07Benfica
13:08just before that
13:09international break
13:10all the way back to
13:15Leipzig
13:17you say
13:20we heard from
13:21Rick Passmore
13:22before this game
13:23the Leicester City
13:24manager
13:25saying we haven't got
13:26a top four squad yet
13:27we're developing
13:28we're improving
13:29also spoke about
13:32the
13:32the challenge
13:34of playing
13:34a team like Arsenal
13:35yeah it's really hard
13:37for
13:37those teams
13:39towards the
13:40the bottom half
13:41of the table
13:41to compete
13:42and
13:43and try and take
13:44points away
13:45from the top teams
13:45but they make it
13:46really difficult
13:47and I think what
13:48Leicester have done
13:48well this season
13:49is
13:49they're taking points
13:50off of those teams
13:51in and around them
13:52which is really
13:52really important
13:53if they are to
13:54survive
13:54I think
13:55Rip Passmore's made
13:56no secret that
13:57the mission is to
13:58survive and
13:59they're doing so far
14:00so good
14:00but yeah it's just
14:02going forward
14:02they don't really
14:03offer too much
14:04I think they've only
14:04scored three goals
14:05this season
14:06so defensively
14:07I think they're
14:07getting it right
14:08and now it's
14:09the next step
14:10being more effective
14:11in front of goal
14:12McCabe with the
14:14throw
14:14picked up by
14:17Kodina
14:18releases the ball
14:21to
14:21Little
14:23Catley forward
14:24again

14:38quickly played
14:40forward to
14:41Russo
14:41but Leicester
14:44had a couple of
14:45lines of players
14:46didn't they
14:47in the way of
14:47any opportunity
14:48that Arsenal
14:49was trying to
14:49create there
14:50yeah work
14:50rates really
14:51good off the
14:51ball from
14:52Leicester
14:52just getting
14:53bodies back

18:07since

18:12doesn't
18:13she

18:57it just
18:57settles
18:57them down
18:58a bit
18:58doesn't
18:58it
18:58and allows
18:59them
18:59now
18:59to play
19:00the game
19:00and enjoy
19:01the football
19:01enjoy the
19:02ball
19:02and try
19:03and add
19:03to it
19:04I think
19:04that's
19:04where
19:04they've
19:04struggled
19:05in the
19:06opening
19:06games
19:06of this
19:07season
19:07is
19:07killing
19:08those
19:08games
19:08off
19:09like I
19:09said
19:09before
19:10and
19:10really
19:10punishing
19:11team
19:11being
19:12ruthless
19:12in front
19:12of goal
19:13and I
19:13think
19:13obviously
19:14Russo hasn't
19:14scored as
19:15many as
19:15she would
19:16like to
19:16this season
19:17but that's
19:17you know
19:18they've just
19:18lacked that
19:19final
19:19click
19:20it's not
19:21clicking in
19:21front and
19:21goal for
19:22them
19:22but hopefully
19:23they go on
19:24now and
19:24they'll learn
19:25from that
19:26they'll want
19:27to be
19:27punishing
19:27team
19:28if they
19:28want to
19:28be up
19:29there
19:29come the
19:30end of
19:30the season
19:30competing
19:31for the
19:31title
19:32all about
19:33Arsenal
19:33when it
19:33comes to
19:34shots
19:34and shots
19:35on target
19:36so far
19:37in this
19:37game
19:37and
19:38three
19:39quarters
19:39of the
19:41possession
19:41as well
19:42as they
19:43look to
19:44play it
19:44forward
19:44again
19:45it's
19:47watched
19:48back by
19:48the
19:49Leicester
19:49City
19:49captain
19:50to
19:51Janina
19:52Leitzig
19:52yeah I
19:53mean Arsenal
19:54started with
19:55a 4-1 win
19:56at home
19:56against
19:57Leicester
19:57City
19:57London
19:58City
19:59Lionesses
19:59then a
20:015-1 win
20:02against
20:02West Ham
20:02but as
20:03you say
20:03maybe not
20:04scoring as
20:04many goals
20:05since then
20:05as you
20:05would expect
20:06them to
20:06yeah I
20:07think
20:07they've
20:07definitely
20:07been
20:07creating
20:08the chances
20:09it's just
20:09getting the
20:10ball in the
20:11back of the
20:11net that
20:11they've
20:11really
20:12struggled
20:12for
20:12I
20:12mean
20:13they're
20:14getting
20:14the chances
20:15in the
20:15box
20:15they're
20:15just not
20:16finding the
20:16target
20:17or not
20:17really
20:17testing the
20:18keeper
20:20almost look
20:21nervous at
20:21times
20:21especially
20:22in Brighton
20:23in the
20:23game against
20:24Brighton
20:24where they
20:24only won
20:25one goal
20:26to nil
20:26really really
20:28struggled
20:28to test the
20:29keeper after
20:30going one
20:30nil up
20:31and it
20:31got quite
20:32uncomfortable
20:32for them
20:33they got
20:33the job
20:33done in
20:33the end
20:34but
20:34yeah you
20:35want to
20:35be putting
20:35those games
20:36away early
20:37on
20:37now with
20:40Russo
20:40quickly up

20:48instead
20:51it is
20:53blocked
20:53out of
20:54play
20:54I think
20:56at the
20:57expense of
20:57a little
20:58discomfort
20:58there
20:59Russo
21:00again

21:01excellent

21:31from
21:32Julie
21:32Thiebaud

21:51right
21:51hand
21:51side
21:52left
21:53a
21:53ball
21:53back
21:54in
21:54and
21:54the
21:54header
21:54from
21:55Black
21:55Stenius
21:55didn't
21:57look like
21:57it was
21:58too far
21:58away
21:59it's a
22:00teasing
22:00ball
22:01whipped
22:02in
22:02through
22:03the
22:03pace
22:03through
22:04the
22:04six
22:04yard
22:04box
22:04Katie
22:05McCabe
22:05lots
22:06of
22:06power
22:07just
22:08completely
22:09mistimed
22:09ahead of
22:09their
22:10Black
22:10Stenius
22:10Arsenal
22:11players
22:11queuing
22:12up
22:12at
22:12the
22:12back
22:12post
22:13goes
22:14past
22:14four
22:14Arsenal
22:15players
22:15there's
22:15a real
22:16opportunity
22:16for them
22:17free
22:17header
22:17as well
22:18so do
22:19you think
22:20should she
22:21have left
22:21it
22:21well there
22:22needs to be
22:22some communication
22:23for sure
22:24at the
22:24back post
22:25but I
22:25think she
22:26she's just
22:26completely
22:27misread the
22:28bounce of the
22:28ball the
22:28flight of the
22:29ball because
22:30needed anything
22:31just the slightest
22:32of touches to go
22:32in there
22:33it was one
22:33on one
22:33against the
22:34goalkeeper
22:34heading
22:36heading towards
22:37halfway through
22:38this first
22:39half
22:39and
22:41a few
22:43players coming
22:44across to get
22:45some rehydration
22:46just seeing
22:48again that
22:48chance a
22:49moment ago
22:50from Black
22:51Stenius
22:52that lovely
22:53ball in
22:54from
22:54McCabe
22:56was on a
22:58plate there
22:59for her
22:59was on a
22:59plate
23:00it's almost
23:00like she's
23:00closed her
23:01eyes at
23:01the peak
23:03time to
23:03make the
23:04contact
23:04and just
23:05missed it
23:05it's an
23:07opportunity
23:07for both
23:08managers
23:09to speak
23:10to their
23:11players
23:11Renee Slager
23:12is obviously
23:12in conversation
23:13with lots
23:14of her
23:15team
23:16but this
23:17is how
23:19Arsenal
23:21took the
23:22lead
23:22Leipzig
23:23got a glove
23:24to that
23:24but could
23:25not stop
23:25it going
23:26in
23:26yeah
23:27I think
23:27Russo
23:28just slamming
23:29it into
23:29the ground
23:30creating
23:30that bounce
23:31great
23:31technique
23:32just
23:34pops it
23:35past
23:35Leipzig
23:36she's been
23:44speaking
23:44recently
23:44of course
23:45about the
23:45extraordinary
23:46what 12
23:47months or so
23:48she's had
23:49for club
23:50and for
23:50country
23:51of course
23:52that success
23:52with Arsenal
23:53and that
23:53Champions League
23:54final
23:54and then
23:55winning
23:57another
23:57European
23:57Championships
23:58with
23:59England
23:59yeah
24:03incredible
24:03incredible
24:04year
24:04hasn't it
24:05been for
24:05both
24:06the country
24:07and club
24:08and then
24:08back to
24:11club again
24:11where they've
24:12struggled
24:12it must be
24:13a big
24:13come down
24:14for those
24:14players
24:15you know
24:15to adjust
24:15to life
24:16back in
24:16the WSL
24:17after having
24:17an amazing
24:18summer
24:19yeah
24:22the ambition
24:22this season
24:23was about
24:24winning the
24:25league
24:25as well as
24:26everything else
24:26I guess
24:27which is
24:27the kind of
24:28unfortunately
24:29the attitude
24:29that lots
24:30of other
24:31teams around
24:31and about
24:32them have
24:33got
24:33here though
24:34they are
24:341-0 up
24:35against
24:35the Leicester
24:35City side
24:36who
24:36haven't offered
24:39too much
24:39threats
24:40at the other
24:40end
24:41yet
24:41I suppose
24:42the danger
24:42for Arsenal
24:43is they get
24:43comfortable
24:44they get
24:44relaxed
24:45and they
24:45give
24:45Leicester
24:45City
24:46a chance
24:47or two
24:47in this
24:47game
24:47yeah
24:48I don't
24:48think
24:48Daphne
24:49Van
24:49Dom
24:50Solara
24:50has had
24:51a touch
24:51of the
24:52ball
24:52really
24:52Les haven't
24:54been in
24:55that final
24:56third
24:56at all
24:56they've
24:57been
24:57counting
24:57their
24:57own
24:58half
24:58maybe
25:00a chance
25:00to play
25:01it forward
25:01now
25:01it's up
25:02to
25:02Jutta
25:02Rantala
25:03Rantala
25:04tries to
25:04lay it
25:05off to
25:05Ayle
25:06who's
25:06racing
25:06in
25:07and this
25:09is a
25:09chance
25:10for Beth
25:10Mead
25:11to
25:11show what
25:13she can do
25:13as a
25:14defender
25:14yeah
25:15she looks
25:15hungry
25:15out there
25:16doesn't
25:16she
25:16she covers
25:17the ground
25:17the work
25:18rate to
25:18get back
25:18get that
25:20block in
25:20I thought
25:20the ball
25:21was a little
25:21bit short
25:22into the
25:22path of
25:22Ayle
25:23there
25:23but Beth
25:23Mead
25:23did really
25:24well
25:24recovering
25:25and tracking
25:25Ayle
25:25every step
25:27of the
25:27way
25:27I suppose
25:29Rantala
25:29just maybe
25:30felt that
25:30there wasn't
25:31the sort
25:32of space
25:32in front
25:33of her
25:33for her
25:33to go
25:33for the
25:34shot
25:34went to
25:35find her
25:35teammates
25:36I think
25:39the former
25:39Tottenham
25:40player was
25:40not going
25:40to get
25:41there
25:41first
25:41no
25:41absolutely
25:42and I
25:42think
25:42when
25:42Leicester
25:43in those
25:43airs
25:44oh this
25:44is
25:44what
25:46on earth
25:47Shannon
25:48O'Brien
25:49almost
25:50kind of
25:50bounced
25:51off
25:51her
25:53legs
25:53to go
25:54past
25:55Van
25:56Domsala
25:56but suddenly
25:58an extraordinary
26:00passage
26:01of play
26:03and Arsenal
26:04recover
26:04somewhat
26:05they do
26:06Domsala
26:06is right
26:06in the right
26:07place
26:07at the right
26:08time
26:08there
26:08hasn't had
26:09much
26:09to do
26:10almost
26:11shocked
26:11into action
26:12that would
26:14have been
26:14totally
26:14against
26:15the run
26:15of play
26:15there
26:16nice
26:17it's a

26:36right
26:36leg
26:36that was
26:38cool
26:39goalkeeping
26:39I thought
26:40it really
26:40was
26:41almost
26:41like a
26:41hockey
26:41goalkeeper
26:42there
26:42just
26:43using
26:44the foot

26:52low
26:52comfortable

27:27pass
27:27from
27:27Caldente
27:28into
27:29the
27:29path
27:30and
27:33this
27:33was
27:33the
27:33moment
27:34before
27:34that
27:34Kadina
27:35turning
27:35it
27:35back
27:35to
27:36Van
27:36Domsala
27:36and
27:38well
27:39I think
27:40O'Brien
27:40doing what
27:41she should
27:42be doing
27:42which is
27:42putting
27:43pressure on
27:43the goalkeeper
27:44yeah
27:44yeah
27:44and I
27:44think
27:44for
27:44Van
27:45Domsala
27:45it's
27:46a silly
27:46mistake
27:47there
27:47really
27:47because
27:47she's
27:47just
27:48playing
27:48it
27:48down
27:48the
27:48neck
27:49of
27:49the
27:49player
27:49who's
27:50coming
27:50into
27:50her
27:50for me
27:51you want
27:51to see
27:51her open
27:51up and
27:52play out
27:52the other
27:52side
27:53but
27:53I think
27:53that's
27:54the risk
27:54when
27:54goalkeepers
27:55aren't
27:55involved
27:55in the
27:56game
27:56and
27:56being
27:57alert

27:57making

27:58decision

31:08around
31:092,000
31:09travelling
31:10Arsenal
31:10fans

31:45work
31:46off
31:46of

31:48they know
31:48coming in
31:49against a
31:50team like
31:50Arsenal
31:50they're not
31:51going to
31:51have a
31:51lot of
31:51the
31:52ball
31:52and
31:52they
31:52have
31:52to
31:53capitalise
31:54on
31:54any
31:54mistakes
31:55that
31:55Arsenal
31:56do
31:56make

32:17the
32:19cross
32:19that
32:19came

32:20I
32:20think

32:21taken
32:22a
32:22touch
32:22of

32:25Janina
32:25Leitzig
32:26the
32:27Arsenal
32:28fans
32:28though
32:28celebrate
32:29their

32:38so
32:38easy
32:39there
32:39Arsenal
32:39I
32:39think
32:40defensively
32:40Leicester
32:41need to
32:41be better
32:42there
32:42and recognise
32:43it

32:43the ball
32:43over the

32:48direct
32:48Russo
32:49just running
32:49on the
32:50back
32:50of the
32:50shoulder

32:52and then
32:53just
32:53puts it
32:53into
32:53that
32:54area
32:54defenders
32:55are
32:55facing
32:55their
32:55own

32:56gets
32:57a touch
32:57off
32:58of
32:58Keyes
32:59there
32:59really
32:59unfortunate
33:00but
33:00you put
33:01the ball
33:01in that
33:02area
33:02it causes
33:02a lot
33:03of
33:03problems
33:03Russo
33:04there
33:05with
33:05the
33:05assist
33:05and
33:06unfortunate
33:06for
33:07Keyes
33:07own
33:07goal
33:07it's
33:08so
33:09difficult
33:09isn't
33:09it
33:09in
33:10that
33:10position
33:10obviously
33:11you're
33:12trying
33:12to
33:12clear
33:12the ball
33:15but
33:15when you're
33:18in those
33:18positions
33:19trying to
33:20clear the
33:21danger
33:21sometimes
33:22it does
33:23lead to
33:24circumstances
33:25like that
33:26yeah
33:26I've
33:26been
33:26there
33:27as a
33:27defender
33:27face
33:28to
33:28goal
33:28you know
33:29defenders
33:30dry
33:30attackers
33:31breathing

33:32your neck
33:32and you've
33:32got to

33:37difficult
33:37one to

33:42little bit
33:42more
33:43alert
33:43from that
33:44free

33:45for
33:45Russo
33:46to get
33:47inside
33:47on the
33:47right
33:47side
33:48of the
33:48defender
33:48and then
33:49when you're
33:50firing it
33:51into the
33:51six yard
33:51box
33:52as you say
33:53it's so
33:53difficult
33:53to defend

35:07Leipzig
35:08does
35:08really
35:09well
35:09just
35:09to
35:09get
35:10a
35:10hand

35:10it
35:10carry
35:11it
35:11out
35:11for
35:11a
35:11corner
35:12but
35:12Leicester
35:13see
35:15treading
35:15in
35:15sand
35:16there
35:16just
35:16couldn't
35:16recover
35:17back
35:17quick
35:17enough
35:18does
35:20lead
35:20to
35:20another
35:20corner
35:21for
35:21the
35:21side
35:22already
35:22leading
35:22by
35:23two
35:23goals
35:23to
35:23nil
35:24the
35:29ball
35:30drops
35:30to the
35:30edge
35:30of
35:31the
35:31six
35:31yard
35:31box
35:31and
35:34that
35:34almost
35:35rolled
35:35past
35:36Leipzig
35:36as well
35:37I'm not
35:37sure
35:37if
35:37Russo
35:38might
35:38have
35:38got
35:38the
35:38touch
35:39Catley
35:40up
35:40from
35:40the
35:40back
35:41I
35:41think
35:41it
35:41might
35:41come
35:42off
35:42Catley
35:42there
35:42but
35:43again
35:43it's
35:43too
35:43easy
35:44for
35:44Arsenal
35:44I
35:44think
35:44she
35:45had
35:45four
35:45Leicester
35:45defenders
35:46around
35:46her
35:47Catley
35:49is the
35:49one
35:49that
35:50gets
35:50the
35:50touch
35:50but
35:50it
35:50just
35:51rolls
35:51into
35:51the
35:52hands
35:52of
35:52Leipzig
35:52forward
36:00forward
36:00forward
36:00to
36:00Rantala
36:01out
36:03to
36:03Ale
36:03one
36:06back
36:06by
36:07Meads
36:07quickly
36:10though
36:10back
36:11with
36:11Leicester
36:12City
36:12who
36:12have
36:12not
36:12had
36:13a
36:13great
36:13deal
36:13of
36:14the
36:14ball
36:14in
36:14the
36:15first
36:1535
36:15minutes
36:16of
36:16this
36:16game
36:16forward
36:20from
36:20Swaby
36:20to
36:25Kerman on the
36:34near side
36:34Ford stays with her
36:35pass gets a little
36:39Leicester City touch
36:40but still finds its way
36:42to
36:42Mariana Caldente
36:44looks to her
36:46left and to her
36:46right
36:47Russo
36:49now with
36:50Mead
36:50Blackstenius
36:51wants it
36:52oh what a
36:53brilliant goal
36:54to extend
36:56Arsenal's
36:56leads
36:57brilliant
37:01quick
37:01passing
37:02from
37:03the
37:04Gunners
37:04to make it
37:06Leicester City
37:070
37:07Arsenal 3
37:08yeah really good
37:10from Arsenal
37:10another good team
37:11goal
37:11started deep in
37:12their own
37:13half
37:13with
37:15Caldente just driving
37:15spread the ball out
37:17wide to Beth
37:18Mead again
37:18and
37:19fantastic finish
37:21perfectly weighted
37:22ball
37:22Russo there
37:23just linking up
37:24with Beth
37:24Mead again
37:25and it's all
37:25about that
37:26ball from
37:26Beth
37:27Mead
37:27just into
37:27the half
37:28space
37:28perfect
37:29pace
37:29on it
37:30and
37:30Blackstenius
37:31does really
37:32well to get
37:32in front
37:33of the
37:33defender
37:33fires it
37:35home
37:35but again
37:37I think
37:37Leicester
37:38will be
37:38questioning
37:38their
37:39defending
37:39poor for
37:41every single
37:41one of the
37:42goals so far
37:42they've got to be
37:43better but
37:44take nothing
37:44away from
37:45Arsenal
37:45yeah
37:47Arsenal have
37:48been brilliant
37:48that was
37:48particularly good
37:49but the
37:50spaces are
37:50there aren't
37:51they
37:51yeah
37:51looks very
37:52disjointed
37:53from Leicester
37:53when they do
37:55get higher up
37:55the pitch
37:56their back line
37:57isn't organised
37:57at all
37:58at all
37:58and Blackstenius
37:59Russo and
38:00Beth
38:00Mead
38:00are having
38:00a field
38:01day out
38:01there
38:02Leicester
38:09City
38:09probably
38:09just want
38:10to get
38:10this to
38:10half time
38:11at this
38:12point
38:12here it's
38:14with
38:15Mead
38:15Arsenal
38:16might have
38:16other ideas
38:17now with
38:18Blackstenius
38:19Russo and
38:20Ford
38:20are the
38:21players
38:21waiting
38:22inside
38:23the 18
38:24yard box
38:25now with
38:26Mead
38:26able to
38:27turn away
38:28finds
38:28Heinz
38:29comes all
38:32the way
38:32back for a
38:33strike from
38:33distance
38:34that just
38:35goes over
38:36the crossbar
38:37from Katie
38:38McCabe
38:39everybody
38:40fancies a
38:41goal today
38:41they have
38:42found herself
38:43in
38:43instant
38:44space
38:44only one
38:45thought
38:45I know
38:46mine
38:46there
38:46seen her
38:47score them
38:47from there
38:48before
38:48and
38:48gets over
38:50it
38:50but it's
38:51just
38:51guiding
38:51above
38:53the
38:53crossbar
38:54there
38:54I think
38:55Leicester
38:56have really
38:57got to get
38:57back to
38:58that
38:58resilient
38:59being
38:59hard to
39:00beat
39:00being
39:00compact
39:00because at
39:01the minute
39:01the back
39:01line's
39:02being
39:02dragged
39:02out
39:03and that's
39:03down to
39:04the good
39:04movement
39:04of the
39:05attackers
39:06for Arsenal
39:06and their
39:06fluidity
39:07and their
39:07movement
39:08Leicester
39:09are just
39:10getting dragged
39:10towards the
39:11player which
39:11is leaving
39:12lots of
39:12space
39:13in behind
39:14them
39:15they will
39:18know though
39:18Leicester
39:19City
39:19they are
39:19playing against
39:20the European
39:20champions
39:21they are
39:21playing against
39:22a side
39:22who are
39:24hoping to
39:24do well
39:24in Europe
39:25and in
39:25the league
39:26again
39:26this season
39:27you know
39:29Arsenal are
39:30one of the
39:30best teams
39:31in the
39:31women's
39:32Super League
39:32yeah they
39:33are
39:33and you
39:34felt that
39:34once it
39:36clicked for
39:37Arsenal
39:37they would
39:37really punish
39:38a team
39:38and it
39:39looks like
39:39it could
39:40be here
39:40this afternoon
39:41it seems
39:42to be
39:42clicking
39:42they're
39:43finding the
39:44right spaces
39:44I think
39:45Beth Mead
39:45has been
39:46brilliant out
39:47there on
39:47the right
39:47hand side
39:48totally
39:50dominating
39:50from start
39:51to finish
39:51so far
39:52Arsenal
39:52yeah I
39:55think if
39:55in doubt
39:55it finds
39:56Beth Mead
39:58or maybe
39:59Ford
39:59who's got
40:00the ball
40:00at the
40:00moment
40:01Kate McCabe
40:03is offering
40:04an option
40:04on the
40:04overlap
40:05gets behind
40:07Keyes
40:08then his
40:09fouls
40:10it'll be a
40:10free kick
40:11for Arsenal
40:12here as we
40:13edge towards
40:14half time
40:15just over
40:15five minutes
40:16left
40:16to play
40:18and Arsenal
40:20in control
40:21of this game
40:21so far
40:22yeah just
40:23frustration
40:23there for
40:23Keyes
40:24Kate McCabe
40:25gets the
40:26better of her
40:26but now this
40:27is another
40:27dangerous
40:28position
40:28to defend
40:30right you
40:34said earlier
40:35you wouldn't
40:35want to
40:35concede
40:36anymore
40:36now before
40:37going into
40:37half time
40:38you really
40:38would be
40:38down and
40:39out
40:39so free
40:47kick
40:48for
40:48Arsenal
40:49who have
40:52barely been
40:52out of
40:53their attacking
40:53third
40:54in this
40:55first half
40:56it's Mead
40:57to take
40:57it might
40:57be clipped
40:58to the
40:58far
40:58post
40:59decent
41:03ball in
41:04yeah good
41:05ball in
41:05but I
41:05think again
41:06that needs
41:06to be
41:06defended
41:07by the
41:07first
41:07player
41:08there

44:08but
44:08when
44:09you're

44:09nil
44:09down
44:10you

44:14get
44:14high
44:15up
44:15the
44:15pitch
44:15it's
44:16a bit
44:16risky
44:16because
44:17you
44:17then
44:17open
44:17up
44:17the
44:17space
44:18for
44:18Arsenal
44:18who
44:19already
44:19exploiting
44:19that
44:20so
44:20yeah
44:21they're
44:21in a
44:22really
44:22difficult
44:22position
44:23here
44:23Leicester
44:23look like
44:30it might
44:30have
44:30gone
44:30out
44:31Rene
44:34Slagers
44:34before
44:36today
44:37was talking
44:37about
44:38block
44:38two
44:38of this
44:39season
44:39obviously
44:39coming back
44:40from the
44:40international
44:41break
44:41saying
44:41you know
44:42we had
44:42mixed
44:43results
44:43we had
44:43performances
44:44and results
44:45that we
44:46wouldn't have
44:46been happy
44:46with
44:47and to
44:48almost
44:49reset
44:49ahead of
44:50this
44:52series
44:52of
44:52games
44:53yeah
44:53I think
44:53it's a
44:53really
44:54important
44:54block
44:55for them
44:55November
44:55some huge
44:56games
44:56coming up
44:57Chelsea
44:57next week
44:58Bayern Munich
44:59Tottenham
44:59then Real
45:00Madrid
45:00a huge
45:01month
45:01and I
45:01think
45:01like you
45:02say
45:02that reset
45:03I think
45:03was probably
45:04needed
45:04for the
45:05players
45:05and the
45:06staff
45:06to
45:06reassess
45:07and have
45:07a look
45:08at what
45:08went
45:08wrong
45:09what didn't
45:10go so
45:10well
45:11I think
45:12this looks
45:13a lot more
45:13like an
45:14Arsenal team
45:14that we're
45:15used to
45:15seeing
45:15you can
45:15see that
45:16confidence
45:16probably with
45:17the early
45:18goal and
45:18then getting
45:18that second
45:19one
45:19they look
45:21freer
45:21they look
45:22confident on
45:23the ball
45:23and they look
45:24like they're
45:25enjoying it
45:25out there
45:25not too
45:31far away
45:32from
45:32finding out

45:34be at
45:35the end
45:35of the
45:36first
