'Berger didn't know I had a left foot!' - Arsenal's Mead says she shocks Chelsea keeper in WSL victory

The England international bagged a double in the 3-2 win over the reigning Women's Super League champions

Arsenal striker Beth Mead admitted she shocked both herself and Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger with the first of her goals on Sunday, with the latter telling the former she “didn't know you had a left foot”.

The Gunners kicked off their WSL campaign with a 3-2 victory on Sunday, with Mead scoring a double to add to Vivianne Miedema's opener.

Both of Mead's strikes were fine efforts, but it was her left-footed rocket to make it 2-1 that stood out the most.
