Jonas Eidevall on Arsenal Women v Tottenham in today´s North London Derby clash by Michelle. Jonas Eidevall is expecting a very physical game today: ...

It shows that the interest is for real and the investment that we have as a team, but also what all the past generations and past teams before us have done to put us onto this stage here. For me, that’s something you need to look at it as an official and say “if you want the game to be that way, let go of it. It’s phenomenal, so we feel that we want to go out and make the most of it so it can happen again more frequently. I had that last season as well, and I don’t expect anything less from us that we need to be 100 per cent to win the game. The only player that missed the squad in the Champions League midweek was Mana and she was ill. I think it’s a hard question and to be honest, I haven’t thought about it so much like that.

Vivianne Miedema scored twice as Arsenal dismantled their north London rivals in front of a record WSL crowd of 47367 at the Emirates.

From the resulting corner, Rafaelle is allowed to head the ball easily back across goal from eight yards out. Wienroither combines with Mead inside the box, allowing the Austrian to ping the ball back from the byline but Spencer turns it behind. 81 mins: Williamson is caught in possession after delaying her pass with limited options in front of her, possibly down to Arsenal slowing the tempo down too much.

Across every game there's a responsibility we all have to keep trying to engage with the fans to make it something everyone wants to be a part of. [Beth Mead](https://www.espn.com/football/player/_/id/280982/beth-mead)'s deflected effort trickled just wide early on, and it was a sign of things to come as Mead opened the scoring two minutes later. "I felt we were a little bit tentative in terms of our press in particular and that created a few challenges for us when we were on the ball. "We didn't do the things that we're known [to do]," she said. In a frantic spell of pressure, Eidevall's side reaped further rewards, with Miedema notching a brace. "The club has been investing a lot of time and energy and commitment into that. [Caitlin Foord](https://www.espn.com/football/player/_/id/158678/caitlin-foord) dispossessed [Evelina Summanen](https://www.espn.com/football/player/_/id/267666/eveliina-summanen) and the ball deflected into the path of the clinical Miedema, who raced through on goal and dispatched a cool finish past [Rebecca Spencer](https://www.espn.com/football/player/_/id/286883/rebecca-spencer). "When you give away tickets, it's something else. [Stina Blackstenius](https://www.espn.com/football/player/_/id/240274/stina-blackstenius), who had scored twice in as many games, to the bench alongside [Lina Hurtig](https://www.espn.com/football/player/_/id/255416/lina-hurtig) and [Noelle Maritz](https://www.espn.com/football/player/_/id/220024/noelle-maritz). [Manuela Zinsberger](https://www.espn.com/football/player/_/id/252339/manuela-zinsberger) wasn't called into action until the 38th minute, when she produced a routine stop in response to a tame strike by [Celin Bizet](https://www.espn.com/football/player/_/id/328108/celin-bizet-ildhusøy). [Molly Bartrip](https://www.espn.com/football/player/_/id/312487/molly-bartrip), but the ball came back out to the Arsenal forward, who curled in a fantastic finish at the second time of asking to score her third goal of the season.
