Arsenal enjoyed life in the North London derby on Sunday as they rioted against women’s Super League rivals Tottenham

The Gunners welcomed their neighbors and rushed into a 5-0 first-half lead, with Vivianne Miedema scoring the second of the game to become the first player to score 50 WSL goals

And, remarkably, she broke Nikita Parris’ current record of 49 goals, scoring half a century in just 50 appearances!

Miedema then scored Arsenal’s fourth and fifth goals to complete his hat-trick and make it an incredible 52 WSL goals in 50 games!

Miedema may have broken the WSL record and Caitlin Foord added a third for Arsenal after 15 minutes, but it was Katie McCabe’s first game that really caught the eye

The Ireland international fielded a free kick from an obscene angle – normally reserved for crossing – and decided to shoot

And her set piece curled quite brilliantly in the far corner of the net, with Spurs goalie Becky Spencer barely moving

Arsenal headed to the North London derby knowing that a win would propel them past Everton and Manchester United to the top of the WSL table, and they all got three more points before halftime

If they hold on, the win will also extend Arsenal’s start to the season by 100%, with the Gunners close to winning all five matches they have played in 2020/21 so far
