Gunners are held to second home draw in two weeks, while Spurs smash Palace 7-0 to maintain strong start.

After being unable to find a way through Crystal Palace’s backline last time out, Arsenal were again frustrated at home in a draw with Manchester United on Saturday and Renée Slegers was asked post-match about how her team can turn their dominance of possession and territory into more goals.

Just over a week before Sarina Wiegman names her Lionesses squad for October’s World Cup playoff tie against Greece, the England Under-23 international Isobel Goodwin did her chances of a first senior selection no harm at all, as she scored twice for London City Lionesses in a comprehensive 4-1 victory at Charlton. The 23-year-old scored five times in the WSL last term but will be keen to exceed that this season and impress Wiegman, at a time when Chelsea’s Aggie Beever-Jones has been out with an ankle injury and Arsenal’s Michelle Agyemang is still returning from her ACL.

The Manchester City manager, Andrée Jeglertz, heaped praise on Hemp as he told Sky Sports: “She’s a player.”

England’s Lexi Potter, however, is one young talent who has been catching the eye at the heart of Chelsea’s midfield. The 2-0 win over Birmingham City was her second start in as many matches and she produced yet another assured performance.

Brighton may have had 25 shots, eight on target and a xG of 3.17, but they were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa after failing to make their dominance count.
