Miedema magic and fans flock to Old Trafford – Memorable moments from the WSL

The Women’s Super League is set to reach its climax this weekend as the race for the title comes down to the final day, with Chelsea needing a win against Manchester United to lift the trophy for the second consecutive year.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at some of the major moments of the season so far.

In November, Arsenal’s Vivianne Miedema became the first WSL player to score against every team she has faced.

The Dutchwoman ticked Manchester United off the list by firing home from outside of the box to earn yet another record.

Despite being deployed in more of an attacking midfield role this season, Miedema has still been invaluable for the Gunners and will finish as one of the WSL’s top scorers.

Bottom-of-the-table Birmingham earned one of their only wins of the season beating then league leaders Arsenal in January.

The previously unbeaten Gunners went 1-0 down inside three minutes, with Libby Smith putting Birmingham in front.

Veatriki Sarri added the second before half-time and Arsenal were unable to find a response in the second half, as the Blues saw the game out to complete a shock 2-0 win.

Old Trafford hosted its first ever WSL game in front of fans in March when Manchester United faced Everton. The game attracted more than 20,000 supporters as the hosts won 3-1 with two goals from Alessia Russo and a Katie Zelem penalty.

The ‘Theatre of Dreams’ had previously been used when United beat West Ham 2-0 a year earlier, but no fans were allowed to attend due to coronavirus restrictions.

This season has seen more games staged at other grounds generally used to host men’s fixtures, including the Emirates Stadium, the King Power Stadium and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
