Match Analysis: Player Ratings and Performances

**Daphne van Domselaar (5/10):**
Daphne was unable to react effectively to Chelsea’s opening goal, a situation beyond her control. She was fortunate not to concede another goal when Catarina Macario’s shot nearly slipped through her grasp, only to hit the bar. However, she improved significantly in the second half.

**Emily Fox (5/10):**
Emily initially struggled defensively but faced limited challenges as the game progressed, with Arsenal dominating possession.

**Lotte Wubben-Moy (6/10):**
Although her positioning was questionable during Chelsea’s first goal, Lotte made some crucial blocks to redeem herself later in the match.

**Stephanie Catley (5/10):**
Stephanie experienced a few uncomfortable moments but did not make critical errors throughout the game.

**Katie McCabe (6/10):**
Katie found some success against Lucy Bronze while advancing, but struggled to cope with the attacking threat posed by Kaneryd. She received a booking for fouling Bronze and was substituted in the 60th minute.

**Beth Mead (4/10):**
The England international had a subdued first half, contributing little aside from a threatening corner that led to a disallowed goal.

**Victoria Pelova (6/10):**
Like many of her teammates, Victoria was slow to impact the game initially but became more influential as the match progressed, contributing to a strong midfield presence.

**Mariona Caldentey (5/10):**
Mariona struggled to make an early impact and her usual precise passing was absent for significant stretches of the game.

**Caitlin Foord (7/10):**
Caitlin emerged as a key player capable of unlocking Chelsea’s defense with her agility and direct style.

**Alessia Russo (7/10):**
Alessia effectively held up play and involved her teammates but occasionally missed connections. After a quiet afternoon, she scored a vital goal to earn her team a point.

**Stina Blackstenius (6/10):**
Stina was frequently caught offside, struggling with her timing. She appeared to score a legitimate goal but it was disallowed by the referee.

**Taylor Hinds (7/10):**
Taylor’s presence in defense noticeably strengthened the team as Arsenal took control of the match.

**Olivia Smith (8/10):**
As Arsenal’s returning record signing, Olivia made an immediate impact after coming off the bench. Had she not been sidelined with a hip injury, she likely would have started, potentially altering the outcome of the game due to her evident quality.

**Frida Maanum (7/10):**
Frida nearly secured a late winner, only to have her goal disallowed for offside in a contentious decision.

**Chloe Kelly (7/10):**
Chloe was somewhat inaccurate with her shooting but still posed a significant threat upon her introduction.

**Kyra Cooney-Cross (N/A):**
Kyra was substituted in during the latter stages of the match.

**Renee Slegers (6/10):**
Renee will likely feel disappointed that her team did not awaken until the latter part of the first half. Once they did, however, their decision-making in Chelsea’s penalty area was lacking, resulting in insufficient testing of goalkeeper Hannah Hampton. The substitutions made a positive impact, though.
