Arsenal ended a wait of nearly three years for a league win against Chelsea in a thrilling 3-2 defeat of their London rivals at the Emirates Stadium.
The Women’s Super League record goalscorer Vivianne Miedema opened the scoring in style and Beth Mead added two for Arsenal after Erin Cuthbert had levelled. A header from Pernille Harder closed the gap but a late surge could not prevent Arsenal from securing a first league win against Chelsea since their 5-0 defeat of the Blues at Kingsmeadow in October 2018.
