WATCH THE CLIP

After Arsenal failed to clear the ball, Southampton did have a second opportunity to tie the score. Unfortunately for the Saints, Molly Pike took a rather tame shot, and Sabrina D'Angelo made an easy save. Although the outcome did not meet their expectations, Southampton will be delighted with the record attendance of 13,438 people.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Arsenal's Miedema may make her first start since returning from injury when the Gunners take on their fellow Londoners, West Ham on Sunday, November 26.
