#Arsenal #mission #special #season #horizon">Arsenal ‘on a mission’ – is another special season on the horizon?
The conditions that led to Lyon’s two costly mistakes were created by Arsenal’s intense pressing.
Lyon goalkeeper Christiane Endler should have collected Mariona Caldentey’s free-kick as it bobbled towards her, but the presence of Blackstenius put her off and she fumbled the ball backwards.
Seven minutes before time, Ingrid Engen let a pass roll past her, lost a foot race with Smith, and collided with Endler to give Smith an open goal.
However, they were still the kind of errors you would not expect a vastly experienced goalkeeper and a two-time Champions League-winning defender to make.
During her post-match news conference, Slegers did not entertain the idea that her side’s goals were fortunate.
“The first goal, it’s hard for the goalkeeper because the ball goes in front and there are runners so it’s hard to see. I think it caught the opposition off guard a bit,” Slegers said.
“The second goal is a good moment that we wanted to create. Sometimes you score the most brilliant goals – but you score all sort of goals in football.”
The Caldentey free-kick that Endler misjudged and was bundled into her own net by Engen was one of several low Arsenal set-piece deliveries aimed to cause maximum disruption.
It was clearly a rehearsed training ground ploy, although Slegers gave little away.
“Lyon is extreme with their physical power and height, so you always look at what we have, what the opposition has, and what the opportunities are for us,” she said.
They were the kind of moments that go your way when things are going well and everything is beginning to click – as was Lyon’s Kadidiatou Diani hitting the crossbar when played through on goal with the score 1-1.
“I thought the momentum we came out of the second half with was massive and hopefully we can take it into the next few games,” striker Alessia Russo said.
“Football is about fine margins, sometimes things go your way, sometimes they don’t – it doesn’t matter how you score.”
In football, as in life, you make your own luck – and Arsenal’s season could be set for a thrilling conclusion.

Mali’s military rulers faced a security crisis on Sunday after coordinated nationwide attacks by jihadist fighters and separatist rebels this weekend killed the defence minister and reportedly left a key northern town in rebel hands.
There was no word from the junta leader General Assimi Goita, who has not been seen since the attacks began at dawn on Saturday.
The offensive, synchronised by Tuareg rebels of the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) coalition and the jihadist Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (JNIM), targeted several areas in the vast arid country.
Analysts said the coordinated attacks were the most serious challenge to the country’s rulers since the March 2012 offensive that was repelled by the intervention of French forces, who have since left.
Government troops were still fighting in some parts of the country but the loss of Defence Minister Sadio Camara on Saturday represented a serious blow to the administration.
Camara, his second wife and two of his grandchildren died after a car bomb attack on his home in the junta stronghold of Kati, outside Bamako, his family and an official said.

Araghchi also visited Oman on Saturday, and is set to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday. There are no indications, however, that talks between Iran and the US are set to resume.
Still, Iran’s ISNA news agency reported that Tehran had transmitted “written messages” to the US via Pakistani mediators, which addressed “some of the red lines of the Islamic Republic of Iran, including nuclear issues and the Strait of Hormuz”. The messages were not part of any negotiations, the agency said.
Iranian media said that Araghchi’s second visit to Pakistan looked to share “Iran’s positions and views on the framework of any understanding to completely end the war”.
During his first visit to Islamabad on Friday and Saturday, he met with Pakistan’s military chief Asim Munir, a key mediator, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. Other Iranian envoys then travelled back to Tehran to “to consult and obtain the necessary instructions on issues related to ending the war”, according to ISNA.
Araghchi described his Pakistan trip on Saturday as “very fruitful” but signalled scepticism over Washington’s intentions, insisting he had “yet to see if the US is truly serious about diplomacy.”
Trump cancels negotiating team’s trip to Pakistan
US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner were meant to head to Pakistan on Saturday for an “in-person conversation” with Iran, according to the White House.
But Trump later said that he had cancelled the trip, insisting that there was no point “sitting around talking about nothing”. Iranian state media, however, had earlier said that direct talks were never on the table to begin with.
“They gave us a paper that should have been better and – interestingly – immediately when I cancelled it, within 10 minutes, we got a new paper that was much better,” Trump told reporters.
Later that evening, a gunman was arrested at the White House correspondents’ dinner, however Trump said he did not think it was related to Iran.
Trump then said on Sunday that “we’re not doing this anymore. We have all the cards. If they want to talk, they can come to us, or they can call us, you know there is a telephone, we have nice secure lines.”
Hormuz blockade still in place
Meanwhile, the vital Hormuz oil and gas route continues to be blocked, with no sign of it opening any time soon.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards posted a message on their Telegram channel saying that “controlling the Strait of Hormuz and maintaining the shadow of its deterrent effects over America and the White House’s supporters in the region is the definitive strategy of Islamic Iran.”
The US has blockaded Iran’s ports in retaliation, with Iranian state media then warning that “blockading, banditry and piracy” would result in a response.
Israel and Hezbollah trade accusations over ceasefire violations
On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon, accusing the Iran-backed group of violating a ceasefire agreement between the two parties.
During a cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said “it must be understood that Hezbollah’s violations are, in practice, dismantling the ceasefire,”.
Hezbollah said in an announcement of its own that it would respond to Israel’s ceasefire violations and its “continued occupation of Lebanese territory”.
Official Lebanese media reported on Sunday that Israel ordered evacuations for seven locations in the country. Subsequent aerial attacks caused casualties, destroyed a mosque and another religious building, the country’s national news agency said.
Israel’s military said on Sunday evening that one of its was killed “during combat” in southern Lebanon and six others were wounder, four of them severely.
Lebanon’s health ministry has increased the death toll caused by Israeli attacks since the war erupted on 2 March to 2,509 dead and 7,755 injured.

The two countries’ military, political and economic cooperation has intensified amid Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with Pyongyang offering military support to Moscow, not least to push Ukrainian forces back from the Russian border region of Kursk.
Defense minister hails new military cooperation agreement
Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov arrived in North Korea, both countries’ media reported on Sunday, for talks with Kim and other officials.
Belousov was set to hold talks with North Korea’s top leadership and senior military officials, and to take part in “ceremonial and commemorative events” in the capital. Images released by Russia’s Defense Ministry showed him embracing Kim.
“We agreed with the DPRK Defense Ministry to place our military cooperation on a stable, long-term footing,” Belousov said, using the intials of North Korea’s official name.
“We are ready to sign a plan this year for Russian-Korean military cooperation for the period of 2027-2031,” he said, in talks also including Defense Minister No Kwang.

Belousov also presented military awards to North Korean servicemen who had fought against Ukrainian forces in the Russian border region of Kursk, parts of which Ukraine seized for several months in a counteroffensive.
Putin sent Kim a telegram to mark the opening, the Kremlin said, thanking Kim and the soldiers for their efforts to help reclaim the Kursk region for Russia.
The chairman of the State Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament, Vyacheslav Volodin attended an inauguration ceremony in the capital.
Details on North Korean troops casualties fighting for Russia are hard to come by, but South Korea has estimated last September that as many as 2,000 had been killed. Only two North Korean soldiers have been captured by Ukrainian forces.
