""I can be in front of the team and say 'I believe we can win the league and we can beat all the teams' - but if we don't do it, it can become empty words," he said. "So for the group to have that feeling that we can challenge and we can beat them [is important]. "We lost against Chelsea so we needed this [victory over Arsenal] to also make sure that when we play these teams again, we believe we can win."
"Arsenal had pegged themselves back from being behind twice before Iman Beney's dramatic late winner at Joie Stadium. It extended City's winning streak to four WSL matches - their best run of form since November 2024. It was also City's first victory over Arsenal in the WSL since February 2023, having gone five games without a win against the European champions."
Andree Jeglertz's message requires results to avoid empty words. Manchester City beat Arsenal 3-2 at Joie Stadium to close the gap to Chelsea to one point. The victory came five games into a 12-team WSL season, nearly a quarter of the campaign. City have not won the WSL for nine years and have finished runners-up six times since 2016, including losing the 2023-24 title on goal difference. The win extended City's WSL winning streak to four matches and marked their first league victory over Arsenal since February 2023. Arsenal dropped seven points from a possible nine in their past three games.
