Two goals from Caitlin Foord and one apiece from Stina Blackstenius, Beth Mead and Victoria Pelova ensured Arsenal earned a 5-1 win over Leicester and moved within three points of the league leaders, Chelsea, albeit having played a game more. Renée Slegers’s side may have been firm favourites going into the game against the team in 10th place in the WSL, but things have not been entirely smooth despite their formidable form.

It would be wrong to suggest there has been a seismic shift in momentum in Manchester, but United’s 2-0 defeat of a beleaguered City to set up an FA Cup final against Chelsea showed a maturity and composure that has sometimes proved elusive in the fixture.

There was a clear identity and formula to England’s all-conquering run to a first European title in 2022. The starting XI remained the same throughout and the impact, when the Lionesses needed it most, came from the bench, primarily through Alessia Russo and Ella Toone.

England moved to the top of their Nations League group with a commanding 5-0 win over Belgium in Bristol. Sarina Wiegman’s side had shown they could turn up and beat the best, their stunning performance in a 1-0 win over Spain two months ago demonstrating a fluency that had been lacking.
