Arsenal Ladies put themselves firmly in the driving seat for a place in the last 16 of the Champions League with a 4-0 first-leg victory over FC Bobruichanka.
Before the game Laura Harvey called for consistency from her Gunners side as they look to go one step further than last season’s Semi-Final place.
And the Ladies manager will no doubt be delighted with what she saw from her side in a potentially tricky encounter against the Belarus champions.
Ellen White opened the scoring after nine minutes to give the Ladies a slender half-time lead.
The second half was a different story completely as Harvey's team produced three more goals to put themselves in command.
Jordan Nobbs made it two in the 64th minute before Jennifer Beattie and Katie Chapman completed a fine afternoon's work.
The Ladies will look to close out the tie when they host Bobruichanka in the second leg on October 5.
