Arsenal's Women's Super League campaign continues to show signs of improvement with a convincing 4-1 thrashing of Leicester City at King Power Stadium. Goals from Stina Blackstenius, Alessia Russo and two more from Kim Little ensured the visitors left the Foxes' home ground empty-handed.
The Gunners were on top in the first half, with Blackstenius breaking free down the left flank before delivering a pinpoint cross that Russo headed past Emma Hayes's former Leicester goalkeeper, Sophie Harris. A second Russo goal just before halftime saw Arsenal take a 2-0 lead, but the Foxes clawed back with a goal from Lauren Hemp in the 58th minute.
However, it was Arsenal who regained their composure and scored three more without further reply from Blackstenius and Little, as the visitors secured their third-consecutive win in all competitions.

! The way Arsenal's team came together to support each other on the field was really beautiful to see 
. Stina Blackstenius and Alessia Russo are total goals, but Kim Little's two assists were the real MVPs 
. It's crazy how much difference having a strong and supportive squad can make – they're totally on fire right now 
! And you know what's even more impressive? The fact that Leicester City put up such a good fight in the first half, only to get thrashed in the end 
. I'm not surprised though, Arsenal's been looking pretty solid all season. Can't wait to see how they do against their next opponents 
!
