Arsenal put on a show in front of sell-out crowd to win WSL opener against Brighton

Arsenal started their Women's Super League campaign in style on Friday evening by beating Brighton 4-0 in front of a sell-out crowd at Meadow Park.

The Seagulls were reduced to 10 players in just the seventh minute when Emma Kullberg was sent off, allowing Jonas Eidevall's side to dominate the game and comfortably secure the win with goals from Kim Little, Stina Blackstenius and a brace form Beth Mead.

Every ticket was snapped up for Friday's game, as it was the first WSL fixture to be played since England won the Euros at Wembley in July. Arsenal fans expected Lionesses Leah Williamson and Mead to lead them to victory - and they weren't disappointed.
