England star Lucy Bronze questioned the competitiveness of the WSL following Arsenal’s record 11-1 win over Bristol City yesterday.

Vivianne Miedema scored six goals — and set up four — as the Gunners surpassed the previous best of 9-0, set by Liverpool in 2013, to go top of the table.

Lisa Evans, with a brace, Jordan Nobbs, Leah Williamson and Emma Mitchell also scored.
