Arsenal Women head coach Jonas Eidevall praised his team's formidable defence after their 4-0 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur in front of a record Barclays FA WSL crowd at the Emirates Stadium. Vivianne Miedema scored twice and Beth Mead and Rafaelle Souza also netted to send the majority of the 47,367 in attendance home happy.
The result saw Arsenal became the first team in the league's history to keep eight consecutive clean sheets and Eidevall said: "When you don't concede one goal scoring opportunity, it's so impressive. Spurs are a very good team but to not concede one opportunity today, that's stable.
"After the Ajax game [in midweek], I told the players that I think we played poorly in defence and I said there is no team in which you can be poor in defence and expect to win. Today we were great in defence and good teams learn from their mistakes.”
