Player ratings:

Manu Zinsberger 5.5/10

Watched Karen Holmgaard’s header come back off the crossbar. Lacked accuracy with her kicking.

Katie McCabe 6/10

Added to Arsenal’s attacks from left-back. Made a crucial tackle late on to block Eleanor Dale’s shot.

Steph Catley 6/10

Kept her place at left centre-back with Lotte Wubben-Moy not part of the squad.

Leah Williamson 6.5/10

Ventured forward to link up play and move the ball progressively. Replaced by Laia Codina at half-time.

Emily Fox 6/10

Bombed down the right flank and delivered low crosses. Had a low shot saved by Brosnan. Bullied in the box by 16-year-old Isabella Hobson, who shrugged off Fox and headed past Zinsberger late on.

Kim Little 6.5/10

Arsenal’s creator-in-chief in midfield has continued a fine end to the season.

Victoria Pelova 5/10

Flashed a shot just wide of the far post in first half stoppage time and missed a sitter in the second half.

Caitlin Foord 5.5/10

Passed up a big chance midway through the first half when she miscued a shot a few yards from goal. Replaced by Cloe Lacasse after 64 minutes.

Alessia Russo 6/10

Knitted play together in the number ten role and broke the deadlock with ten minutes to go, finding the net after Mead’s shot was saved. Should have netted a second but fired over in stoppage time.

Beth Mead 6.5/10

Couldn’t find the net after two braces in her last two outings, but the England star moved the ball well and her crossing was excellent.

Stina Blackstenius 5.5/10

Denied well by Brosnan at her near post early on and struggled to make much of an impact in front of goal..

Laia Codina (Sub, HT) 5/10

Sloppy at times on the ball but provided some physicality in Arsenal’s backline.

Frida Maanum (Sub, 64’) 5.5/10

Replaced Stina Blackstenius in the creative midfielder role.

Cloe Lacasse (Sub, 64’) 6/10

Nearly scored moments after coming on but couldn’t get her head to Mead’s inviting ball.

Kyra Cooney-Cross (Sub, 74’)

Replaced Victoria Pelova in midfield.

Subs not used: Naomi Williams, Teyah Goldie, Katie Reid, Laura Wienroither, Vivianne Miedema.
