"The Dutch keeper went to make a straightforward catch from a deep Shekiera Martinez cross, only to let it slip through her fingers. The ball hit the far post, bounced back off Van Domselaar and dropped into the net. The driving rain in east London may well have played a part but it was still a dreadful error from the 25-year-old."
"However, Arsenal hit back in the 21st minute with Russo spearheading their first meaningful attack down the right. Russo played in England teammate Mead, whose clever pass teed up Maanum to turn and slot home past Megan Walsh from 10 yards out. Russo almost created a second with a neat spin in the penalty area but Mariona Caldentey's drive was a long way off target."
Arsenal overturned an early setback to secure a 5-1 win at West Ham in the Women’s Super League. Daphne van Domselaar’s spilled catch rebounded off the post and into the net for West Ham’s shock opening goal. Arsenal equalised when Frida Maanum finished after a move involving Beth Mead and Alessia Russo. Stina Blackstenius scored after half-time, and Caitlin Foord nodded in from Mariona Caldentey’s cross. Russo completed the victory with two late goals, ensuring Arsenal made it two wins from two league matches despite missing Chloe Kelly through a minor knock.
