Match report: Fiorentina 0-4 Arsenal Women

We made the perfect start to our Champions League campaign on Thursday night as we secured a 4-0 first-leg victory over Fiorentina in the last-32.

Our last European fixture took place on March 30, 2014, a whole 1,992 days ago - but we were made to wait just 18 minutes for an opener at Stadio Artemio Franchi.

After dominating play on the edge of Fiorentina’s area, Vivianne Miedema received the ball inside the six-yard box and faked to shoot, before shifting on to her right foot and firing into the bottom left corner.

Our attacking pressure was relentless and shortly after Miedema turned provider, displaying incredible vision to play a flicked pass into the path of Kim Little, who doubled our advantage with a snap shot into the far corner.
