Vivianne Miedema scored her first goal since returning from an ACL injury as Jonas Eidevall marked his 100th Arsenal game with a 2-0 win at Liverpool.
It was another landmark moment for the Netherlands forward after spending 11 months on the sidelines, netting for the first time since December 2022.
She rifled home an emphatic strike on the hour, having now scored nine goals in seven WSL games against Liverpool. It was the perfect way to mark Eidevall's century — and 41st birthday — too, winning for the 68th time.
Miedema told Sky Sports after the game:«It's been really tough. I've had a few setbacks in my recovery and before today I've just not felt myself.
»Something over Christmas shifted my mindset and I feel more myself again. I'm happy I'm playing and back at the point where I can help the team.

«I'm so happy this goal flew in today and I can move on. Coming back, some players don't overthink it but I did. I was a bit scared coming back. I put a lot of pressure on myself because I wanted to be old me again — or even better than old me even.
»I've finally started enjoying training again and being back out there with the girls. I don't think about my knees any more."
