Leah Williamson candidly addressed Arsenal's disappointing 5-2 defeat to Aston Villa, which dashed their hopes of clinching the Women's Super League title. The loss followed a high after their recent success against Lyon, suggesting a potential emotional and physical drain. Williamson emphasized the team's unity and resilience, expressing the need to learn from the defeat instead of turning against each other. With Chelsea securing the league title, Arsenal's focus now shifts entirely to the upcoming Champions League final against Barcelona, marking their last chance for silverware this season.
It's tough, really disappointing and it was a big, big weekend and we have to come and be able to perform again.
We prepared so hard for this game. If anything we hyped it up bigger than Sunday because we knew the risk of coming here and that happening.
I know we unravelled, especially in that second half when we were going for it, it's tough but we aren't turning on each other.
We are still together as a team. It's just learn, I'd rather have a lesson now.
