Arsenal women draw with Crystal Palace after opening season win
Summary

Arsenal played to a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday in the second week of the WSL season. Manager Renée Slegers rotated the starting lineup, bringing in Lotte Wubben-Moy, Kyra Cooney-Cross, and Chloe Kelly, though the team failed to convert their attacking chances. This result follows an opening-week 1-0 victory against Brighton where Lisa Baum scored the winning goal on her competitive debut. Despite maintaining two clean sheets, Arsenal has recorded only one league goal across their first two matches. The squad faces a demanding schedule ahead with upcoming fixtures against Manchester United in the WSL followed by the start of their Champions League campaign. Slegers indicated that the team must improve their finishing efficiency as they prepare for a series of high-profile tests.
