Man City 2-1 Arsenal Playing with such a great group of girls is brilliant, we showed lots of fight today and it's about the team. She is unbelievable for us and when you have that link up with such a special player it is brilliant. "It was a brilliant day and we knew when we play at home that nobody can play against us.

We wanted to give the travelling support much more joy today and I want to thank them for their support and for giving us support and encouragement.

FT: Man City 2-1 Arsenal

Arsenal Women fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester City in the Women's Super League clash at the Manchester City Academy Stadium.

Victoria Pelova - A really quiet game for Arsenal's new signing, held onto the ball a little too long on occasion. Her first real chance came early in the second half, a fantastic run and was denied by the post. Subbed at the break. Put in a dangerous free-kick before the break but Arsenal were unable to make anything of it. Steph Catley - Gave Hemp and Kelly too much space first half when the hosts were well on top. Struggled to keep possession on occasion when under pressure from City players. Noelle Maritz - Allows Lauren Hemp to get ahead of her for the opener, caught ball watching on too many occasions. Leah Williamson - A rare poor performance from the defender, moved into midfield but almost instantly gave the ball away. Despite late pressure, Arsenal were unable to complete the comeback and snatch something from the game. Instead, it was defender Rafaelle Souza who handed Jonas Eidevall's side a lifeline with a headed effort to make it 2-1. A similar mistake occurred early into the second half, this time substitute Lia Walti lost out but the eventual effort was blocked. City, though, capitalised on some poor defending from the Gunners as Lauren Hemp tapped home to give them the lead shortly after.

It was an afternoon to forget at the Academy Stadium as we fell to a defeat against Manchester City.

We regained our composure after the break and reverted to a back four, with Lia Walti coming off the bench after several weeks away through injury. This time around, however, we got off to a calamitous start as Lauren Hemp was granted an easy tap-in at the back post after only four minutes played. Rafaelle pulled one back after an hour played but our second-half improvement ultimately came too late to turn the game around.

Arsenal are six points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table and Pep Guardiola's side could move ahead if they win their next two ...

“Afterwards I said to them ‘wow, what a performance.’ If there was going to be a winner then it should have been us. They finally got their reward when Toney stole in to head home Christian Norgaard’s hooked cross after the visitors had won two headers in the Arsenal penalty area following Jensen’s free-kick. But as you would expect from a man who has perfected the thousand-yard stare, Frank didn’t blink. Toney fired against the crossbar and also forced Ramsdale into a flying save with a drive from distance. Bukayo Saka, the only Gunners forward giving Brentford problems, served notice of what was to come by forcing David Raya into a smart near-post save. Rico Hendy should have given them an early lead - and surely would have had he not been more concerned with colliding with Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale than giving Toney’s cross the finish it deserved.

If Maanum had scored could it have changed the match? Who knows, but for the rest of the first half Arsenal were nothing short of abysmal in my humble opinion.

Katie McCabe (6) (on for Foord at halftime) – Katie did contribute to a slightly better second half for Arsenal. Stina Blackstenius (5) – Blackstenius lost the ball in midfield in the build up to City’s opener. Caitlin Foord (5) – Foord added some great help defensively when the back line were struggling (which was most of the first half!). Over hit a cross in to Foord in the first half. Noelle Maritz (4)– Maritz was responsible for Lauren Hemp’s opener in my opinion. Lotte Wubben-Moy (4) Lotte made some poor back-passes and was far too easily dispossessed in dangerous areas.

ESPN's Nick Wagoner noted on Wednesday that a Tommy John reconstruction surgery could keep "Purdy out for about a year and cost him the 2023 season." Here is the play: The officials called a foul on the play, but they convened and later ruled the foul came after the buzzer. According to David Bonilla of 49ers WebZone, Purdy explained during a Thursday appearance on San Francisco radio station KNBR that "there could be some question as to getting a hybrid surgery, which is reconstruction with the internal brace" to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. After all, being at the top of the list of the NBA's scoring list is not a small achievement. We need the personality, we need the veteran. As part of the FanDuel Super Bowl promotion, Rob Gronkowski will attempt to kick a 25-yard field goal live in the third quarter of the Super Bowl. While it's nice Bosa and Kittle have gone to bat for a teammate, there's no guarantee Purdy will take a meaningful snap before the summer of 2024. It's believed 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan would prefer to have Lance and Purdy compete this summer, but it seems unlikely that Purdy will be cleared to practice before the closing stages of the preseason portion of the calendar at the earliest.
