After suffering an unnerving start in which they trailed after nine seconds and fell further behind before the hour mark when Marcos Senesi scored, Arsenal transformed this matchup into a classic contest.
81 min: Tielemans crosses from the right. Vardy dips his head but his volleyed header misses its target by inches.
Cloe Lacasse began the comeback, while Alessia Russo and Caitlin Foord helped secure it with 4-2 scores before Lina Hurtig sealed things away in stoppage time.
Aubameyang
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is known for his bold display, often donning crystal-encrusted cleats and donning his iconic Superhero mask after goals. That personality even carried over to Chelsea where he quickly established himself after arriving as Radamel Falcao was sold off and quickly settled into their no 9 shirt that has become so synonymous with disaster.
He claimed to have unfinished business against Arsenal when he returned in September, yet showed no trace of resentment in his performance. His two goals helped Arsenal overcome a 3-1 deficit from last week’s first leg in Rennes and advance 4-3 on aggregate towards reaching the Europa League quarter-finals.
Sanchez
The Gunners responded magnificently from going 2-0 down with an hour remaining to rally from behind to take back their five-point lead in the Women’s Super League (WSL). Their comeback may prove especially significant compared to past ones.
Alessia Russo sneaked unnoticed into the area and scored unopposed against Ramsdale to draw level. Kyra Cooney-Cross and Victoria Pelova soon followed her, before Sanchez made amends for her early miss with her second goal of the match – making for an impressive and astonishing display that surprised even itself!

Tielemans
Youri Tielemans stands out as one of the premier talents in Premier League. Leicester had no hesitation in investing their highest transfer fee in him after loaning him out at AS Monaco for one season.
Tielemans has been an invaluable player in Leicester’s development. He regularly wants the ball and makes himself available in their buildup phase, while helping progress play by passing into spaces where teammates are making powerful runs.
FBref data allows us to observe Tielemans’ effectiveness in this regard. In the above heat map, he effectively notices gaps in Watford’s defensive line and threads his pass through them to reach his targets.
Vardy
As soon as Vardy joined Leicester City from non-league Fleetwood Town three years ago, he immediately become an instantaneous hit, scoring 16 league goals to lead them on what many consider the greatest ‘Great Escape’ from relegation. Additionally, he launched V9 Academy – an academy designed to showcase non-league talent to scouts from league clubs.
Vardy remains one of the premier strikers in Premier League, even amid his current troubles at Leicester. Last season he scored 23 goals as Leicester secured their maiden top five finish and was chosen twice to the PFA Team of Year award.
Lacasse
Arsenal’s response to going 2-0 down against a team who had never scored against them before in Women’s Super League history was absolutely remarkable. Thomas Partey and Ben White levelled within 13 minutes before Nelson sealed victory late with his spectacular strike.
The Gunners were worthy winners and their comeback from two goals down was one of the greatest comebacks I have witnessed recently. A thrilling end-to-end contest featuring fast tempo action and plenty of chances, it provided plenty of entertainment while serving as an ideal way to launch the season.

Foord
Recent Arsenal teams may have capitulated when faced with such an overwhelming deficit, but this side led by Mikel Arteta has built up an admirable track record of coming back from seemingly impossible situations.
Cloe Lacasse and Alessia Russo had quickly evened up the score after falling two behind, before Victoria Pelova, Stina Blackstenius, and Lina Hurtig increased the Gunners lead further in the second half.
With Manchester City struggling to gain ground on Arsenal in terms of points dropped, Nelson’s late winner should ease Gunners fans. The academy graduate volleyed home his goal from a corner kick, sending home supporters wild in celebration.
Pelova
Victoria Pelova may have taken an unconventional path in her career path, yet has made impressive strides since joining Arsenal this season. She is flourishing at her dream club and has made close bonds with fellow team-mates.
Pelova was pivotal in helping Arsenal turn around a 2-0 halftime deficit against Leicester City Women, though she missed an opportunity to score after 32 minutes – which she saw through but could only lift over the bar with her shot.
