Arsenal stumble (again), Villa get their first league win and Fifpro releases a report on working conditions in women’s football

It’s the same old story with Arsenal again this week. Loads of shots, not enough of them going in the net. Chloe and Rachel attempt once again to get to the bottom of their issues in front of goal and wonder if Renée Slegers’ frustration is beginning to show.

Elsewhere in London, Chelsea blew Spurs away with a massive 6-2 win. Lauren James, stop it. Plus, Aston Villa get their first win of the campaign and Sazzy Wiegs extends her England contract.

Finally, we’re breaking down Fifpro’s report on working conditions in women’s football and Chloe offers her perspective on early retirement, player salaries, mental health and more.
