Arsenal Women delivered an excellent all-round performance to beat Juventus 4-0 in Italy.

Frida Maanum put the Gunners in front before second-half goals from Stina Blackstenius, Mariona Caldentey and Caitlin Foord.

Player ratings:

Daphne van Domselaar 7.5/10

An important early stop to deny Sofia Cantore and was good with the ball at her feet for her first Champions League clean sheet.

Katie McCabe 7.5/10

Denied well by Pauline Peyraud-Magnin after going for goal from an early free-kick. Defended well.

Steph Catley 7.5/10

Strong in the tackle and helped the Gunners seal an important clean sheet.

Leah Williamson 8/10

Headed narrowly over the crossbar in the second half and supported Fox in attack. Calm and composed.

Emily Fox 8/10

Inverted from right-back very effectively and struck the underside of the crossbar in the second half.

Lia Walti 7.5/10

An ever-present alongside Kim Little in Renee Slegers’ starting lineups so far.

Kim Little 8.5/10

Involved in the opening goal and dictated the midfield.

Caitlin Foord 9/10

An excellent bit of play to set up Maanum’s goal, threading the ball in behind into her path. Dominated defenders with her quick feet and skill on the ball, and netted Arsenal’s fourth with a tap-in.

Frida Maanum 8/10

Put Arsenal in front with a delicate finish that had just enough power to find the far corner and was heavily involved in attack.

Beth Mead 7.5/10

Energetic on the right wing, linking up with Fox. Replaced after an hour by Mariona Caldentey.

Alessia Russo 7.5/10

Caused problems with her movement and pace before dropping deeper when Stina Blackstenius was introduced.

Mariona Caldentey (Sub, 60’) 8/10

Impactful on the left wing. Calm and composed to fire home Arsenal’s third and seal an impressive away win.

Stina Blackstenius (Sub, 60’) 8/10

Doubled Arsenal’s lead at a crucial time in the game when her shot was too powerful for Peyraud-Magnin.

Lina Hurtig (Sub, 77’)

Laia Codina (Sub, 85’)

Kyra Cooney-cross (Sub, 85’)

Subs not used: Manu Zinsberger, Naomi Williams, Lotte Wubben-Moy, Rosa Kafaji, Kathrine Kuhl, Laura Wienroither, Katie Reid.
