The Arsenal women's team made history to become the first British team to secure the UEFA Cup. A packed crowd at Meadow Park saw them valiantly defend their first leg lead, courtesy of a goal from Alex Scott (youtube link). Arsenal rode their luck at times, but kept true to the famous Arsenal chant to win the cup 1-0 on aggregate.
