**Women’s Super League: Key Highlights from the Weekend’s Matches**
Arsenal finally showcased their potential with a commanding performance, while Lauren Hemp's impressive treble has propelled her to the top of the WSL assist leaderboard. Chelsea, on the other hand, are making headlines with their unique goalkeeping situation, boasting "two No 1s."
In a match against Brighton, Arsenal delivered a stellar display, scoring five goals with contributions from five different players and securing a clean sheet. This performance was a welcome change, as the team had struggled with finishing chances in previous outings. From the outset, Arsenal played with high intensity, leaving Brighton reeling. The combination play between Beth Mead and Emily Fox on the right flank, along with Katie McCabe and Caitlin Foord on the left, effectively exploited Brighton's defensive vulnerabilities.
Mead's trademark goal reminded fans of Arsenal's more prolific days, while Frida Maanum added a spectacular finish to the tally. The highlight of the evening, however, was Lina Hurtig's 76th-minute header, marking her first goal in 362 days. This moment was particularly special as it came after a long injury layoff for the Swedish winger.
Overall, it was a weekend filled with exciting performances and significant milestones in the Women’s Super League.
