Mariona Caldentey slotted a 93rd‑minute penalty to clinch Arsenal’s 1‑0 victory over HB Køge, sparking relief among North Bank supporters. Still, the win exposed lingering doubts about the Gunners’ attacking spark.
Renée Slegers’ flushed cheeks said it all as the final whistle blew. For my money, Arsenal’s clinical finish was embarrassingly thin, as if a force field guarded the opponent’s net.
Slegers praised the squad’s mindset, noting the win came from resilience, not the referee’s decisions.
