Arsenal beat Rangers 6-0 thanks to four goals from Caitlin Foord, an Alessia Russo strike and a Kim Little penalty, with Jonas Eidevall’s side now set to face Rosenborg
Arsenal 6-0 Rangers Four goals from Caitlin Foord, an impressive competitive debut for Mariona Caldentey and progression in Champions League qualifying secured, Arsenal’s 6-0 defeat of Rangers opened their 2024-25 campaign confidently.
There can be no complacency. “That’s always my message,” said Eidevall. “There’s always the next game, there’s always the next action, there always needs to be really high demands on everything we do. I have faults like everyone else, complacency isn’t one of them.” The energy Arsenal came out with in the first half demonstrated their desire not to let this opportunity go to waste. Two seasons ago, Arsenal thrived in the group stage and built towards a battling semi-final exit at a sold-out Emirates Stadium. Not making the group stage last year, losing out on a chance to build on that and benefit from the financial and broadcast benefits, was a big blow.
An opening goal from the home team was an inevitability but, for all their dominance in possession, they had to wait until the 16th minute. It was, the Ballon d’Or-nominated Caldentey who would provide the impetus, swinging an accurate cross in from the left that was nodded in by Foord. That was surprisingly the only goal of the half, Arsenal’s 10 attempts and five corners yielding nothing more.
