Vicki Sparks is joined by former England international Anita Asante and editor of She Kicks magazine, Jen O’Neill as they reflect on a record breaking day at the Emirates, as Arsenal extend their lead at the top of the table after beating Tottenham 4-0 in front of a record WSL crowd. They hear from Arsenal boss, Jonas Eidevall and the WSL’s all-time leading scorer, Vivianne Miedema after she got two in the back of the net in the North London derby. Spurs manager Rehanne Skinner also makes a pod appearance and explains what more her team could have done to stop the Arsenal goal threat. Chelsea and Manchester City are yet to get a win so far this season – they face each other on Sunday. The panel get the thoughts from Emma Hayes and Gareth Taylor ahead of that match.
