Arsenal honoured England forward Beth Mead after their North London Derby win with a heartwarming gesture following the devastating loss of Mead's mum earlier in the week.
In the afterglow of their 2-0 victory over Tottenham, the Arsenal men's team posted a photo on social media of the squad posing in their dressing room with a shirt that read 'Thinking of you Beth'. This tribute came after Mead's announcement that her mum had passed away early on 7 January after a long battle with ovarian cancer.
Messages of support to the 27-year-old have arrived thick and fast, with Mead's teammates donning black armbands alongside Chelsea during their London derby clash on Sunday afternoon. Liverpool and Manchester United Women also sported the black armbands to show solidarity with the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
