Arsenal: Remembering Alex Scott's iconic Champions League winner 15 years on

As a club, Arsenal have an incredibly rich history, and the women’s team has contributed greatly to their impressive trophy count over the years.

Scott’s goal would prove to be the title winner after the second leg ended 0-0 at Borehamwood. History had been made and every woman on the pitch in red had written their names in footballing folklore.
