England international Kelly was hugely influential in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Real Madrid at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, providing two assists and putting a host of dangerous crosses into the box.

The Manchester City loanee, who rejoined the club on deadline day, started for the third consecutive match and proved her worth once again, setting up Mead’s goal with yet another wicked delivery.

Another cross was diverted into the net by Swaby as Kelly proved too much for the opposition to handle.

Arsenal have been in superb league form with their last defeat coming against rivals Chelsea at the end of January.

Following that setback, they have won six WSL matches in a row for the first time since December 2023 under Jonas Eidevall, when they won seven.

The Gunners have also netted 24 goals in their past six games, highlighting their consistent attacking threat.

They will be full of confidence for their next match on 19 April, when they host Lyon in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
