The Irish captain produced two big performances for Arsenal this week.
The Republic of Ireland captain was central in the build-up to the Gunners 81st-minute equaliser which secured a 2-2 draw with Manchester City.
Referee Abi Byrne was looking straight at it. She didn’t budge. McCabe, meanwhile, rushed back to her feet and dinked the ball over the opposing players tangled on the ground. Smelling blood, she went on a marauding run. With her fifth touch after the deft flick, she played Rosa Kafaji through with a beautifully-weighted pass. The Swedish international hit the near post with her first-time shot. The rebound fell to Beth Mead, who fired home and sent the Emirates into raptures.
A moment of individual magic followed: the England international flicked the ball over Häcken’s Jóhanna Fossdalsá and viciously smashed home on the spin.— SHE scores bangers September 26, 2024 Advertisement “Vintage Beth Mead” was the caption on the video clip which has since gone viral on Twitter.Two big shifts in one week, with another needed away to Leicester City this afternoon to continue a flying start to the season.
Generally deployed at left-back in the Euro 2025 qualifying Group of Death, she was often caught out of position higher up the field. This sometimes happens at Arsenal too, where she has established herself as Jonas Eidevall’s first-choice in that position.She did that last Sunday, producing a string of crucial interceptions.
