MANCHESTER CITY summer signing Vivianne Miedema scored against her former employers Arsenal today as the sides opened their Women’s Super League campaigns by battling out a 2-2 draw at Ashburton Grove.

Miedema — who netted a WSL-record 80 goals for the Gunners before leaving at the end of last season as her contract expired — opened her league account for City just prior to the interval, cancelling out Frida Maanum’s early opener for the hosts.

After Jess Park then put the visitors ahead in the 58th minute, substitute Beth Mead subsequently had the final word, with her 81st-minute finish ensuring the points were shared in the meeting between last season’s runners-up City and third-placed Arsenal.
