Vivianne Miedema may have made a habit of smashing goalscoring records but she insists hitting the back of the net is not her top priority.

At just 23, she has scored more goals for Holland than any player ever, man or woman; last season she broke the record for the number of goals scored in a Women’s Super League season, 22; and the World Cup finalist has scored 48 times in 48 starts for Arsenal since joining from Bayern Munich in 2017.

And yet Miedema insists: “I think I’m not bothered about scoring goals at all.”.

However her team will be bothered about their goalscoring machine being switched on tomorrow when they face Manchester City, the team who came second to them in the Women’s Super League last season and beat them to win the Continental Cup.

But what matters to Miedema is giving 100 per cent on the day, whether that is through assists, goals or working hard on the ball. Does she feel pressure to score at all? “I’m not going to put that pressure on myself, no,” Miedema said. “It’s not the type of player I am.”
