Crystal Palace made a statement in the Women’s Super League by earning a point against Arsenal at the Emirates, showing they are ready to compete rather than merely fill a place in the division.
The result was discussed on the Women’s Football Weekly podcast, where the weekend’s WSL action was reviewed. Palace’s display stood out as evidence that they can challenge established sides and make their presence felt on major occasions.
For Arsenal, the draw could carry greater significance in the title race. The podcast discussion raised the question of whether dropped points will prove costly once again for Renée Slegers’ side as they pursue the championship.
Palace therefore leave the Emirates with a valuable point and renewed evidence that they are not in the WSL just to make up the numbers.
