Arsenal showed the gulf between the Women’s Super League and the lower tiers with a 9-0 thrashing of Leeds in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Gunners have won this competition 14 times, beating Leeds on two of those occasions - in 2006 and 2008. But Leeds have fallen down the football pyramid since then.
Three divisions below their opponents, the Yorkshire club is made up of part-time players who work full-time jobs. Rick Passmoor’s side had managed to keep the score down to 3-0 at half-time but the difference in fitness levels was evident as the hosts fired in six second half goals.
