It was a day of broken records at the Emirates. The biggest ever attendance for a Women’s Super League match. An eighth clean sheet in a row for Arsenal, the first time it has been achieved in WSL history, and yet another victory over Tottenham. Oh, and Beth Mead scored again.

This north London derby more than lived up to the hype. Arsenal had vowed to put on a show for their fans and they did not disappoint with goals from Mead, Rafaelle and a brace from Vivianne Miedema sealing a 4-0 win.

Arsenal sold 53,757 for this game. Had all of those ticket holders shown up, the club would have broken the record for the highest ever attendance for a domestic game in the UK. As it was, 47,367 was the official crowd.

A fine effort from the club, but not quite enough to match the record set by Dick Kerr Ladies in 1920. Their charity game against St Helen’s attracted a crowd of 53,000 to Goodison Park, with another 14,000 locked outside. 

It was enough to convince the FA that the popularity of the women’s game was a significant threat to men’s football, which led to a 50-year ban. It has taken the women’s game nearly 50 years to recover - and it is still doing so. But days like today, after a record-breaking women’s Euros, is proof that women’s football is only going to get stronger.
