WSL talking points: heat cranks up on Arsenal, but Putellas and Diani shine

Pressure continues to build on the Gunners’ head coach, while powerful London City Lionesses demolished Spurs Travelling Arsenal fans showed no animosity towards the head coach, Renée Slegers, despite their side’s run of one win in six games all competitions, and the north Londoners slipping 10 points behind Manchester City. Slegers walked over to applaud the 2,000 away fans after the 4-2 defeat at Etihad Stadium , and they applauded her back.

Slegers said: “I mostly went there to thank them, and connect with them, and show them that I care for them and appreciate them coming to Manchester. And also showing to show them that I feel – not sorry for them because I’m, of course, a big part of it and things are within my control – but they’re coming here and they’re not getting the rewards, just like the team. So I just wanted to connect with them instead of walking away and hiding.”
