There was nothing on when Foord picked up the ball near the left corner flag, but she shimmied past star England defender Lucy Bronze along the goal line and, though the narrow angle was against her, then worked the ball back on to her right foot to somehow unleash a pinpoint finish via the far post.The brilliance, in front of a crowd of 45,860, was typical of the fare the 29-year-old has produced for Arsenal this term in what has been a pretty tough time for the Gunners.
But Chelsea was still too good for the home side and now leads the table with a perfect nine points after three games.We put the spotlight on women making a big impact on and off the field in the sporting world — from the grassroots through to the elite level.
