Arsenal and Manchester Metropolis performed out an exciting 2-2 draw of their opening Girls’s Tremendous League conflict on Sunday.

The WSL’s all-time high scorer Vivianne Miedema marked her Metropolis debut with a purpose in opposition to her former membership on the Emirates Stadium, the place Beth Mead snatched a share of the spoils late on.

Miedema’s deflected effort within the forty second minute cancelled out Frida Maanum’s early opener.

Maanum’s close-range strike got here simply 45 seconds after Miedema had arrowed a shot large after capitalising on slack play from her former staff.

Caitlin Foord had a purpose narrowly disallowed for offside early within the second half, and Arsenal’s frustrations have been compounded when Jessica Park put Metropolis forward with a shocking effort from the sting of the field, with the ball clipping in off the underside of the crossbar.

But Arsenal fought again within the 81st minute as Mead nudged in on the rebound after Rosa Kafaji struck the woodwork.
