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.
