– Arsenal continued their perfect start to the Women’s Super League season by comfortably beating bottom side Leicester at the King Power Stadium to move back to the top of the table.
– Jonas Eidevall’s Gunners dominated from the start, twice going close in the opening two minutes before Frida Maanum fired them ahead with her fourth goal in five games.
– Caitlin Foord tapped home Beth Mead’s cross before Steph Catley scored directly from a corner to add a third for Arsenal before the break.

– A second-half strike from Stina Blackstenius sealed a sixth win in six WSL games – and a record-extending 14th consecutive league victory in a remarkable run dating back to last season.
– The Gunners next face nearest challengers Manchester United, who could regain top spot later on Sunday but would need to beat third-placed Chelsea by four goals to do so.
– A seventh successive defeat, meanwhile, leaves Leicester, playing their first game under new boss Willie Kirk, rooted to the foot of the table without a point, and with only two goals to their name.
Six games. Six wins. Perfect. 🖤 pic.twitter.com/jGxTLxTq1O
