West Ham Women broke their club attendance record as they hosted London rivals Arsenal on Sunday evening at Chigwell Construction Stadium, with 2,832 fans turning out to watch the Hammers hold the Gunners to a plucky goalless draw.
Paul Konchesky's side started the London derby brightly and imposed plenty of threats on the counter through Honoka Hayashi, Kirsty Smith and Emma Snerle, while a penalty appeal for Dagny Brynjarsdottir being brought down in the box was contentiously waved away.
But it was Mackenzie Arnold between the sticks, along with an unassailable backline in Risa Shimizu, Grace Fisk, Hawa Cissoko and Smith, who kept a frustrated Arsenal at bay until the final whistle to earn West Ham their first-ever WSL point against the Gunners and a first league point since 11 December.
