Summary
In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie look back at Arsenal's 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. They look at how Arsenal's gameplan exposed Chelsea in central areas and Chelsea's selection errors and injury absences played into Arsenal's hands. There's discussion on how the Gunners' press and their out of possession effort helped them to win the game, as well as some calm finishing. In part two, Tim and Jamie take listener questions submitted on BlueSky.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Arsenal Women AskCast and AskBlog.com with me, your host, Tim Stillman, |
| 0:19.1 | looking back at Saturday's 2-0 win for Arsenal at |
| 0:24.0 | Stamford Bridge, the first away win at Chelsea since October 2018, when Arsenal won 5-0, |
| 0:30.5 | covered that game as well. |
| 0:31.8 | That was good fun. |

| 1:24.6 | Yeah, let's start with maybe how we felt before the game. I don't think we really |
| 1:29.9 | covered that because there was, you know, the Subway Cup game since our last podcast, which |
| 1:35.8 | I think Arsenal played well, but didn't put the ball in the net, which is a bit of a theme |
