WHAT HAPPENED
We hit double figures in the in the fourth round of the Vitality Women’s FA Cup on Sunday as we ran out 10-0 winners over Gillingham.
Vivianne Miedema marked her 100th appearance for the club with a goal, while Jill Roord hit a first-half hat-trick and Anna Patten scored her first in Arsenal colours.
Teyah Goldie also made her first-team debut as a second-half substitute.
Having named a strong starting XI, we wasted no time in asserting our dominance over the FA Women’s National League side, and after just seven minutes we found ourselves ahead.
Jill Roord opened the soring by firing home from close range, before Beth Mead doubled our advantage with one of her signature ‘crot’ finishes, breaking free down the right wing and firing in off the woodwork.
