Wait 5 sec.

Arsenal may not be able to catch Manchester City in the WSL title race but Renee Slegers’ squad are seeking a winning end to their league campaign. Emily Fox and her Gunners teammates moved one step closer to a second-place finish after downing Everton 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium midweek. Fox started and played 64 minutes in the match, continuing another busy campaign in North London.The U.S. women’s national team veteran won five duels, made three interceptions, and seven defensive recoveries as Arsenal extended its unbeaten run to three matches. Fox, who has been in and out of the starting lineup over recent weeks, made her 36th appearance of the season in all competitions. Arsenal will conclude its league season on Saturday at Liverpool, knowing a victory would clinch a second place finish in the WSL. However, any dropped points for the Gunners paired with a Chelsea win over Manchester United will mean the Blues will leapfrog their London rivals in the final standings. As for Fox, she will seek a positive end to her third campaign with Arsenal before joining up with the USWNT this June.Elsewhere, Auston Trusty and Celtic picked up a crucial road win over Motherwell to keep their SPFL title hopes alive.
