Previous clashes had always proven to be tightly-contested affairs but on this day, Nick Cushing’s side produced a scintillating display to blow the Gunners away.
Strikes from five different scorers – Jane Ross, Steph Houghton, Georgia Stanway, Izzy Christiansen and Jill Scott – maintained the hosts’ 100% start to the campaign and inflicted one of Arsenal’s heaviest league defeats.
This encounter provided a thoroughly entertaining meeting in which the visitors twice fought back from a goal down – only for the home side to regroup and respond in style.
The pair meet again on Sunday 27 October in a 2:30pm kick-off in what could prove to be a crucial fixture in the title race...
