As comebacks go, this one was pretty special. <\/span><\/p>\n Arsenal were 2-0 down at half-time away to Leicester City, a team who had not only never beaten the Gunners in the Women’s Super League, but had never so much as managed a goal against them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The visitors halved the deficit in the 50th minute. Incredibly, 12 minutes later, they were 4-2 up. Jonas Eidevall’s side would eventually run out 6-2 winners with six different goalscorers.<\/span><\/p>\n Arsenal were devilishly good in the second period, also hitting the woodwork three times, and their ruthless performance means they leap up to second in the WSL table.<\/span><\/p>\n It also feels like a key moment in their season. The north London club, riddled with injuries, started their campaign poorly but are now celebrating their fourth consecutive league win.<\/span><\/p>\n “Every attack they just seemed to tuck away,” said opposition manager Willie Kirk to Sky Sports. <\/span><\/p>\n “It was really hard to do anything about it. I thought Arsenal were supremely clinical in terms of their counter-attacks, they were incredible in that period.”<\/span><\/p>\n When the other team are calling you “incredible”, you know you have done a pretty good job.<\/span><\/p>\n At half-time, Arsenal had slipped into the bottom half of the WSL table. <\/span><\/p>\n Sloppy defending had allowed Leicester to grab two goals in 54 chaotic seconds and the Foxes looked set for their first league win over the Gunners at their fifth attempt.<\/span><\/p>\n Defeat would have been Arsenal’s third away from home in seven league matches and would have left the visitors six points off leaders Chelsea.<\/span><\/p>\n The narrative looked very back different then.<\/span><\/p>\n “It was a bit emotional at half-time because we needed to apply ourselves much better,” Gunners manager Eidevall said to Sky Sports after his side’s win.<\/span><\/p>\n “We kept all the structure, sometimes that’s the hardest part because you can get tricked by the result and think that you need to change the structure but we didn’t.<\/span><\/p>\n “And the attacking football we played in the second half had some great passages which resembles the Arsenal way of playing. That should be the standard going forward.”<\/span><\/p>\n It has not been an easy start to this season for Arsenal with an opening day defeat to Liverpool followed by a 2-2 draw at Manchester United.<\/span><\/p>\n Stars Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema have only just come back from long-term injuries while England captain Leah Williamson and defender Laura Wienroither <\/span>remain in the ‘ACL club’<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n But Sunday’s thrashing of Leicester, combined with <\/span>last week’s narrow win over Manchester City<\/span><\/a>, suggests the Gunners are finding their groove again.<\/span><\/p>\n “That’s the Arsenal that we know,” said Tottenham striker Bethany England on Sky Sports.<\/span><\/p>\n‘The Arsenal way of playing’<\/h3>\n
