WSL talking points: Beard remembered as incredible human' on sombre weekend
"She’s really good, said the Arsenal manager, Renee Slegers. She has a growth mindset, so she always wants to learn and wants to get better. But doing those things in your safe environment [at] training where everything is isolated, that's something; coming out into the Women's Super League and doing that on such a high level against top opposition, top players, I'm just so impressed with her. We knew that she could do this and this is the type of player she is."
"The loss of Lauren Hemp to an ankle injury in the first half would have been a huge blow to any side, but City's strength in their forward line was on full show. Kerolin came on and put in a player of the match performance alongside the impressive Aoba Fujino, who opened the scoring. The visitors outclassed their opponents, fashioning 25 chances with 10 on target. City had five players on the scoresheet, illustrating how they can cope even when Bunny Shaw is misfiring."
Katie Reid, an 18-year-old centre-back, started for Arsenal in place of the injured Leah Williamson and helped the team keep a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw with Manchester United. Arsenal manager Renee Slegers praised Reid's growth mindset and her ability to perform at a high level against top opposition in the Women's Super League. Manchester United had scored nine goals in their opening two league games but were held scoreless by Arsenal's defense. Manchester City beat Tottenham 5-1, with Kerolin and Aoba Fujino outstanding and Grace Clinton scoring and assisting on her debut. Chelsea maintained a perfect start as Aggie Beever-Jones added to her goalscoring tally.
