Liverpool 0-2 Arsenal: Vivianne Miedema scores first goal since ACL return

Vivianne Miedema scored her first goal since returning from an ACL injury as Jonas Eidevall marked his 100th Arsenal game with a 2-0 win at Liverpool.

It was another landmark moment for the Netherlands forward after spending 11 months on the sidelines, netting for the first time since December 2022.

She rifled home an emphatic strike on the hour, having now scored nine goals in seven WSL games against Liverpool. It was the perfect way to mark Eidevall's century - and 41st birthday - too, winning for the 68th time.

Arsenal doubled their lead soon after with a neat finish from Caitlin Foord (69), which sends Arsenal back level on 28 points with Manchester City, who beat Tottenham earlier on Sunday. The pair remain three points behind Chelsea at the top of the WSL.

But Liverpool - who were vastly improved after their own 5-1 thrashing by Gareth Taylor's side last weekend - were difficult to break down for much of the game, with goalkeeper Rachael Laws particularly impressive.

They have now slipped to three points behind Manchester United in fourth and remain level on 18 points with Tottenham, who they face in the WSL next Sunday.

What's next?

Liverpool's next Women's Super League game is also at home to another north London team as they host Tottenham next Sunday, kick-off 2pm.

Meanwhile, Arsenal face a London derby away at West Ham next Sunday, kick-off 12.30pm.
