Arsenal Ladies in shock goalless draw with Yeovil Town

The Arsenal Ladies team crumbled when it mattered the most. Just like their male counterparts, Arsenal have had difficulties to perform whenever the pressure is on them. The Arsenal Ladies who currently sit in 4th on the table had the opportunity to close the gap between them and Manchester City Women who are four points ahead. Instead, they drew their match against a Yeovil Town side that has been struggling and had lost all their last four matches in the league. The club were looking to get one over the 10th placed team who had enough wind in their sails had to stop Arsenal. This does not mean that they did not try though as they dominated the match with 55%. Their shots on goal were astonishingly high (34) compared to Yeovil’s 3 shots, but they still could not score. Arsenal Ladies are finalists in the Women’s FA Cup and should trade carefully if they want to qualify for next season’s champions league.
