Here are the main takes for the Arsenal team and players:

7Combined goals and assists

Again, there is absolutely no surprise to see the Arsenal players at the top of the combined goals and assists category:

1. Anna Miedema 21

3 Jordan Nobbs 12

5. Danielle Van De Donk 11

6. Bethany Mead 9

7. Kim Little 8

The combined statistics shows how exceptional Miedema’s season has been so far.

The second-ranked player only has 14.

Jordan Nobbs and Danielle van de Donk have also performed well and there is no doubt that had Kim little and Jordan Nobbs been fit for the whole season, their stats would have been higher as well.

Overall, the half-season stats show that the Arsenal Women are a team that likes to take control of the game and the ball possession to create chances and opportunities.
