Reading Women 1 Arsenal 2: Emma Follis consolation for Royals

Arsenal Ladies survived a late fightback to earn a 2-1 win over Reading Women at Adams Park in Wycombe last night, and our man Neil Graham was their to capture the action.

The fourth game of the Royals debut FA WSL 1 campaign after their championship win last season ended in defeat after Jordan Nobbs and Dominique Janssen put the Gunners ahead.

FT) Frenetic ending, but a deserved 2-1 win for @ArsenalLadies over @ReadingFCWomen this evening. Att: 604.

Despite Emma Follis’ 78th minute curling effort, the Royals remain without a win but host fellow win-less side Sunderland on Monday night.
