We were back at Emirates Stadium for our first Barclays Women\u2019s Super League match of 2026 in front of over 37,000 supporters.<\/p>\n
Our players began the afternoon in Kyra Cooney-Cross shirts to show support for her and her family after her mother\u2019s recent cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n
It was a goalless draw in N5 as Manchester United were reduced to 10 players following a second yellow card for Jayde Riviere, before Smilla Holmberg came on for her Arsenal debut.<\/p>\n
