Vivianne Miedema Shines Yet Arsenal Snags 2-2 Draw in Thrilling WSL Match

Manchester City's Vivianne Miedema scored and assisted against her former club Arsenal, but a late goal from Beth Mead secured a 2-2 draw in their Women's Super League match. Frida Maanum initially put Arsenal ahead, but City fought back with goals from Miedema and Jess Park before Mead's late equalizer.

Manchester City's striker Vivianne Miedema delivered a stellar performance against her former club Arsenal, scoring one goal and setting up another during Sunday's Women's Super League clash at The Emirates. Despite her efforts, Arsenal managed to secure a 2-2 draw thanks to a dramatic late goal by Beth Mead.

The match kicked off with early fireworks as Frida Maanum of Arsenal netted the opener in the eighth minute, drilling the ball into the top-right corner following a well-executed move down the right flank. Miedema, the all-time WSL top scorer who switched to City this season, leveled the scoreline in the 42nd minute with a deflected goal that outsmarted Arsenal's keeper Manuela Zinzberger.

The second half saw City's Jess Park put them ahead 2-1 after capitalizing on Miedema's assist. Arsenal's Caitlin Foord had a goal disallowed for offside, adding to the tension. In the 81st minute, substitute Rosa Kafaji hit the post, and Mead seized the moment to slot home the equalizer, salvaging a point for Arsenal. The WSL weekend also featured Liverpool vs. Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur vs. Crystal Palace, and notable wins by Chelsea, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Manchester United.
