Arsenal women’s player ratings vs Leicester City: Gunners score SEVEN! Frida Maanum & Smilla Holmberg star as Renee Slegers’ rotated XI keep WSL title hopes alive by thrashing Foxes

Arsenal’s rotated cast cruised to victory over Leicester on Wednesday, thrashing the Women’s Super League’s bottom side 7-0 to move into the Champions League places and increase the pressure on league leaders Manchester City. With two more games in hand, the Gunners are all-but-mathematically the only team that can still chase down the champions-elect, and goals from all over the pitch ensured that remained the case in a comfortable victory.

It was only at the start of the month when Arsenal boss Renee Slegers felt the consequences of heavy rotation, as her side succumbed to a surprise defeat to Brighton that ended their FA Cup dream. However, with the Gunners set to travel to France this weekend for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Lyon, in which they hold a 2-1 lead, she did not hesitate to put faith in her squad again here – and this time, it was repaid handsomely.

Basically a spectator all game. Did nothing wrong but had very little to do.
