In a historic moment for Arsenal Women's Football Club, Dutch international Vivianne Miedema scored the team's first goal against West Ham United Women in the FA WSL (FA Women's Super League) match on April 28, 2021. The goal was a significant milestone as the game was played behind closed doors due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Miedema, who joined Arsenal in 2017, has been a key player for the team, scoring numerous goals and leading them to victories. In this match, she netted the opening goal in the 18th minute, putting Arsenal in a commanding position against their rivals. Her teammates celebrated with her, their faces masked and socially distanced, reflecting the unusual circumstances of the game. Sporting stadiums around the UK have been under strict restrictions due to the pandemic, with government social distancing laws prohibiting fans from attending live matches.

However, the determination and resilience of the players have shone through, with Arsenal Women putting in a strong performance against West Ham United Women. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Arsenal Women have continued to train and compete, showcasing their skill and passion for the game. Miedema's goal was a reminder of the team's talent and their ability to adapt to the new normal. The victory was a morale-boosting moment for the team and their fans, who watched the game from the comfort of their own homes.
