Women’s Super League: Brighton & Hove Albion Women 0-4 Arsenal Women

Arsenal sealed a first Women's Super League title since 2012 at the Amex Stadium as they beat Brighton in front of a new WSL-record crowd of 5,265.

The WSL's top scorer Vivianne Miedema fired in the opener off the underside of the bar early on, before feeding Katie McCabe to tuck in the second.

Beth Mead added a fine third, before Dutch midfielder Danielle van de Donk tucked in the fourth.

Victory clinched the title for the Gunners with one match to spare.

For the outstanding Miedema, her brilliantly-taken goal was her 22nd of the league campaign and she nearly added to her tally in second-half stoppage time, but headed on to the bar.

The Gunners – English women's football's most decorated club despite their seven-year wait for the title – become champions of England for the 15th time since having first lifted the top-flight crown in 1993.

Victory also saw them secure a second domestic trophy under Australian first-team boss Joe Montemurro, adding to last season's WSL League Cup success.

Brighton, who were already safe from relegation, were playing at the home of their Premier League men's side for the first time, in the climax of their first season since promotion last summer.

Former England boss Hope Powell's side – who remain ninth in the table – impressed in spells but were unable to give the Gunners a major scare after the visitors had taken an early lead.

Ahead of their now-less-significant final fixture at home to second-placed Manchester City on 11 May, Arsenal have won 17 of their 19 league games this term, dominating from start to finish.
