Pajor slipped onto full-back Ona Batlle’s cross at the near post and headed it into the far corner shortly after the half-hour, breaking the game open. After rising high from a set-piece, stand-in captain Marta Torrejon tried to double the score, but her looping header hit the crossbar.

We’re thrilled with the win, but we’ll face Juventus again in a few days and start over. We must focus on that game and not the table since it is early and we face many difficult tasks “Slegers, Arsenal interim manager.
