Arsenal Extend Unbeaten Streak With Dominant Win, Manchester City Maintain Perfect Champions League Record.
Arsenal’s impressive form under interim manager Renee Slegers continued as they secured a decisive victory over Juventus in the Women’s Champions League. Goals from Frida Maanum, Stina Blackstenius, Mariona Caldentey, and Caitlin Foord saw the Gunners triumph in style, extending their unbeaten run to five matches since Slegers stepped in after Jonas Eidevall’s departure.
With this win, Arsenal solidify their second-place standing in Group C after three games, now three points clear of third-placed Juventus and trailing group leaders Bayern Munich by the same margin.
Meanwhile, Manchester City preserved their flawless start to the Women’s Champions League campaign with a determined 2-0 victory over Hammarby. Following a goalless first half, Gareth Taylor’s side broke the deadlock shortly after the interval, with Laura Blindkilde Brown slotting home to put City ahead.
Despite a late surge from the Swedish side, City’s defence held firm, with Ayaka Yamashita making a crucial fingertip save to deny substitute Thea Sorbo. The win was secured when Aoba Fujino’s diving header found the net in the 80th minute, sealing City’s third consecutive victory in Group D and leaving them atop the group with a maximum nine points.
Both English teams remain well-positioned in their respective groups, with Arsenal’s resurgence under Slegers and City’s consistent displays adding momentum to their Champions League ambitions.
