Arsenal cemented second place in the Women's Super League (WSL) on the season's final day, defeating Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield. This victory guarantees the Gunners an automatic spot in next season's UEFA Women's Champions League group stage.
Alessia Russo spearheaded the attack, netting a brace. Her first goal came in the 21st minute, followed by another just before the half-hour mark. Mariona Caldentey extended Arsenal's lead with their third goal. Liverpool managed a consolation through Zara Shaw in the 74th minute.
The win marked a strong finish to the season for Arsenal, who secured the runner-up position with a four-point gap over third place. This concluded their WSL campaign on a positive note after drawing with Brighton, a result that previously confirmed Manchester City's title win. Arsenal's final league standing also places them in a more favourable position for future European competitions.
