Women’s Super League: talking points from the weekend’s action
Who knows where Vivianne Miedema will play next season but for now she is Arsenal’s, and so important to Jonas Eidevall’s team. The Dutch striker has revealed that several clubs are interested in signing her for next season – she is out of contract in the summer – but there are no signs that her mind is elsewhere. When Arsenal thrashed Leicester City 5-0 on Sunday to briefly go top of the WSL the Netherlands international was in sparkling form. Miedema had two close efforts before half-time, one saved by goalkeeper Demi Lambourne and another smacked against the woodwork. Then came two goals in the space of eight second-half minutes that took Arsenal away from Leicester. Jemma Purfield’s clearance stopped at Miedema’s feet at the edge of the box and she executed a one-touch finish. Her second came after a well-worked assist from Nikita Parris. With the league’s title race going down to the wire, the Gunners will be hoping Miedema’s sparkle isn’t extinguished. SR
