Arsenal win Women's Super League title: Gunners crowned WSL champions in front of record crowd at Brighton

Arsenal have won the Women's Super League title after beating Brighton in front of a record crowd for a WSL match.

The Gunners secured the title for the first time since 2012 with a comprehensive 4-0 win in Brighton, with 5,265 fans watching on - beating the previous record of 5,052 set back in 2012 by Chelsea and Arsenal.

Vivianne Miedema opened the scoring with her 22nd goal of the season after five minutes, the Dutch striker hitting a thunderous shot from the edge of the area which went in off the underside of the crossbar.

And the 22-year-old then turned provider after half an hour, setting up team-mate Katie McCabe to double the visitors' lead at the Amex Stadium.

Beth Mead made it 3-0 with a superb long-range effort and Danielle Van De Donk completed the rout in front of a record crowd of 5,265.
