Show Notes

One weekend, two massive derbies.

Despite what looked like early nerves, Renée Slegers’ Arsenal got the win over Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Could this be a platform on which to build and turn around their fortunes?

Up in Manchester, an improved United ended City’s perfect start to the WSL campaign courtesy of a last-minute equaliser from Elisabeth Terland.

Plus, Chloe and Rachel get to discussing the Ballon d’Or and a U-turn concerning the so-called “Rodman Rule” in the NWSL.
