Arsenal Women maintained their perfect start to the season with an accomplished 4-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Meadow Park on Sunday. Tim Stillman caught up with Vivianne Miedema post match exclusively for Arseblog News.

On how she is feeling physically after the World Cup…

I’m still not quite 100% and we are playing a lot of games, we had two Champions League games in the schedule as well this month, so we’ve not really had any time to rest and now we go away with our international teams. But I hope those games can get me a bit closer to full fitness.

On the performance against a well-organised Brighton…

We played very well today, we created lots of chances and Brighton were very defensive and didn’t really try to attack us. But we had a really good team performance today and I think we are improving with every game.

On her partnership with Kim Little…

I think all of the attacking players have been really good this season. Joe wants us to play forwards and Joe wants us to dictate the game to teams and I think part of my quality is dropping in away from the frontline sometimes and allowing some of those players to run in behind and that’s what happened again today, which is great for the team.

On completing a lovely one-touch move for the second goal…

This is exactly how we want to play football and we scored four good goals today, but that one was very special. That’s the kind of move we practice and it’s nice to be able to contribute to a goal like that, that’s the sort of move we all really enjoy.

On not being included in the FIFPRO World XI at the FIFA ‘Best’ Awards…

I think we all know it’s all about popularity and I don’t post much on instagram or twitter, so that’s probably what went wrong. I don’t really care about individual awards to be honest, but I think it’s a joke.
