Matildas ace Caitlin Foord did her utmost to put a stop to Arsenal's woes but even her brilliant solo goal couldn't stop them sinking to another dispiriting 2-1 defeat at home to champions Chelsea.
Foord proved Arsenal's livewire down the left flank and it was a goal out of nothing just before halftime that brought the Gunners to life at the Emirates Stadium after Chelsea had moved into a dominant 2-0 lead through their brilliant Colombian Mayra Ramirez and French international Sandy Baltimore.
Picking up the ball near the left corner flag, there was nothing on for Foord but she shimmied past star England defender Lucy Bronze along the goalline and, though the narrow angle was against her, then worked the ball back on to her right foot to somehow unleash a pinpoint finish via the far post.
