Arsenal ready to 'hunt' Man City - what 7-0 win over Leicester means for WSL title race

It seemed as if Manchester City were cruising towards the Women's Super League title.

But suddenly, the champions-elect are looking over their shoulders as Arsenal start to make up ground.

"We like to be in a hunting position," Gunners midfielder Frida Maanum said following Wednesday's emphatic 7-0 victory over Leicester.

"We are in a good position, we want to hunt them [Manchester City] from the back and try to catch them."

Arsenal's spectacular win condemned the Foxes to a relegation play-off, while it closed the gap on the leaders to eight points and boosted the Gunners' goal difference.

It seems a significant margin to overcome at this stage of the season, but the Gunners do have two games in hand over the league leaders.

So, can they actually catch City and win the WSL?

"I don't know," was the humble response from Arsenal boss Renee Slegers. "We have nothing yet so we have to keep on pushing."
