Foxes Women 2-6 Arsenal Women: Gunners complete stunning second-half comeback

A stunning second-half comeback from Arsenal saw them claim a 6-2 win at Leicester, having trailed 2-0 to the Foxes at half-time.

If ever a game has epitomised the cliché of 'a game of two halves', the seven-goal thriller at the King Power was it.

The Gunners were stunned in the first half as Sam Tierney (36) and Janice Cayman (38) scored within 54 seconds of one another to see Leicester into a shock - and deserved - first-half lead.

It was the first time the Foxes have ever scored against Arsenal in the WSL, and only their second and third goals in the first 45 minutes of a league game this season.

But for all of their positives, Leicester were dismantled by a fired-up Gunners, who needed just 11 and a half minutes to flip the game completely on its head.

Cloé Lacasse began the comeback (49), followed shortly by another goal from Alessia Russo, who has now scored six goals against Leicester in all competitions.

Being level in such a short space of time was impressive enough, but the Gunners were not done there. Caitlin Foord (58) and Victoria Pelova (60) quickly made it 4-2, with Stina Blackstenius (75) and Lina Hurtig (90+8) adding the final touches from the bench.

It was some way to mark Jonas Eidevall's 50th WSL game in charge of Arsenal, registering his 36th win. The victory sees the Gunners into second, three points behind Chelsea. Leicester are now in seventh with seven points.

What's next?

Arsenal are back on Sky Sports next Sunday as they travel to Brighton in the WSL; kick-off 2pm. Leicester return to action on the same day as they host Tottenham at the King Power; kick-off 3pm.
