Beth Mead fires Arsenal in front against West Ham

ARSENAL midfielder Jordan Nobbs warned their rivals today that this team wants to be “challenging for this title.”

The Gunners were made to work hard for their 2-1 victory over West Ham as they started their defence as Women’s Super League champions.

Nobbs, who is returning from a 10-month knee injury which cost her a place in England’s World Cup squad, narrowly missed the opportunity to put the game to bed after coming on with just over 20 minutes to go.
