Arsenal’s manager, Joe Montemurro, said Vivianne Miedema’s contract is “top of the list” and that the club will do “everything we can to make sure Viv remains a part of the group” after the 24-year-old Dutch striker scored a first-half hat-trick to become the Women’s Super League record goalscorer.
Her 52-goal tally has been achieved in only 50 games, fewer than half the number needed by the previous record holder, the former Manchester City forward Nikita Parris, who scored 49 in 110 games. Parris’s City teammate Ellen White has 48 in 104.
