ARSENAL Women beat Juventus Women 1-0 to consolidate their lead at the top of Champions League Group C on a bitterly cold evening in north London.
Viv Miedema put the home side ahead with a well-taken rising finish on the half volley from Stina Blackstenius cross after only 16 minutes, as the home side dominated throughout the match.
Refreshed after her early November break, the Dutch star made it three in three games to follow up her headed equaliser in the 1-1 draw against Juve in Turin at the end of November, which cancelled out her national teammate Lineth Beerensteyn’s goal for the hosts.
