Arsenal Women have dropped their first points of the new WSL season after being held to a goalless draw by newly promoted Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium.

Roberto has just returned from the match and switched on the microphone to record his immediate, completely unscripted reaction to what he saw and felt inside the stadium.

This isn’t the polished match review or the final verdict after watching everything back. It’s the raw response to a deeply frustrating afternoon, the performance Arsenal produced, the questions it raises and the moments that stood out from inside the Emirates.

A fuller analysis will follow once there has been time to rewatch the match and separate the immediate frustration from what actually happened on the pitch.
