Arsenal captain Leah Williamson hailed her side’s on-pitch chemistry in their 4-0 victory over Reading on Sunday, maintaining that the ruthless cohesion is more reflective of the squad’s standards of “what Arsenal should be”.
The Gunners took an early lead over the Royals as Kim Little converted a penalty inside five minutes before Frida Maanum doubled the lead just before the interval. An own goal from Emma Mukandi in the second-half followed by Williamson’s strike fired Arsenal into a comfortable victory.
It was a more than deserving scoreline in a match fluidly and comprehensively dominated by the Gunners, which kept them within three points of Manchester United who sit second in the table having played a game more.
