Summary

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie cast an eye over Arsenal's 1-0 win over Manchester City in the WSL. There is focus on Arsenal's defensive improvement this season, the decision to play Olivia Smith at centre-forward, yet another player of the match performance from Kim Little and how the Gunners maintained control in a fixture usually defined by chaos. Then in part two, Tim and Jamie take listener questions from BlueSky.

Hello and welcome to the Arsenal Women Askast on Osplog.com with me, your host, Tim

0:18.8

Stillman, looking back on Sunday's 1-0 win over

0:22.5

Manchester City at Emirates Stadium. And usually games against Manchester City, very end-to-end,

0:28.4

very chaotic, lots of goals. I was expecting something similar to that on Sunday. We didn't get

0:35.3

that. We got something much more controlled, much more measured and I think a

0:39.5

really good performance and a deserved victory for Arsenal. And here to rehash that with me, as ever,

I mean, it was, I mean, before we go into this game, I kind of said at the outset,

1:33.8

and this was something that René spoke about in a press conference on Friday.

1:37.0

The last three score lines in Arsenal Man City games have been three-two to City,

1:42.4

four-three to Arsenal and 2-2.
