Latest update courtesy of BBC's Emma Sanders is that she didn't need to go to hospital, and travelled back with the rest of the team. Phew.

I think that was Jenni Hermoso handing out the medals? Anyone know for sure?
(edit) nope, looks like it was Nikki Doucet: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/jan/26/nikki-doucet-even-a-purist-is-probably-still-a-new-womens-football-fan

Happy with the first half. Pressing looked organized and effective.
Fully expecting this to go to penalties though.

Is it just me, or does Pelova look off it today? Been pushed off the ball a couple of times and/or had poor touch.

@nuggsy @Astrealix Exactly. These muppets don't seem to understand that it could have just as easily happened to our supporters.

@Astrealix they wore blue and we wore white the last time we played them FFS. This smells like mind games from Hayes.

Arseblog - an in-depth look at Arsenal Women's lack of ethnic diversity This is a good long read on the issues around diversity in Women's football in England, and puts the recent furor over the Arsenal squad photo in context. I am once again in awe of Alex Scott for how she's managed to thrive in spite of the barriers she's had to push past.

Analysis: Why have Arsenal Women struggled against deep defensive blocks this season? From Tim Stillman: "The technical instability at centre-half and number 10 has made Arsenal less convincing in the exact area opposing defences have clogged up and targeted. This has meant a high number of crosses, with Arsenal averaging 35.3 per game so far this season, compared to 24.4 last season."
