A revitalised Vivianne Miedema and Beth Mead breathed life back into Arsenal’s title challenge in a tough defeat of Brighton. “More people die on the way down than on the way up when they climb Mount Everest because people relax and say, ‘Oh, I did that’,” said Arsenal’s manager, Jonas Eidevall, on whether his side had been feeling the pressure of one win in the seven previous games.
“That was the challenge. Every game is a challenge. I don’t relax. It’s football, it’s hard work. It’s about keeping focus.” Despite the poor run, the Gunners are still top of the WSL and were able to extend their lead to four points here having played a game more than second-placed Chelsea.
