Arsenal Women 5-0 Brighton: Report by Layth Yousif at Meadow Park 

Viv Miedema made it a farewell for the ages when the Arsenal legend grabbed a goal moments after coming on in her final appearance for the Gunners.

The world class Netherlands international who suffered an ACL injury last season scored two minutes after replacing Alessia Russo in the 62ndminute – to send the sold-out Meadow Park crowd wild with delight.

On a balmy afternoon Saturday afternoon at Boreham Wood the Gunners ended their WSL campaign by easing past Brighton through two first half goal through Russo, followed by Miedema’s 64th minute effort that evaded Seagulls’ keeper Sophie Baggaley to make it 3-0, following good work by Beth Mead.

Worse was to come for the visitors when Jorelyn Carabali scored an own goal to make the score 4-0 to Arsenal.

As the clock ticked down in front of 3,583 fans there was still time for Frida Maanum to break through and slot home with aplomb to make the final score 5-0, with Jonas Eidevall’s side ending the season in third place in the WSL.
