Vivianne Miedema scored on her return to Emirates Stadium as Manchester City drew with former club Arsenal in their Women's Super League opener.
Netherlands international Miedema, who was allowed to leave Arsenal when her contract expired this summer, was fortunate her strike took a heavy deflection off defender Laia Codina and she did not celebrate her goal. Jonas Eidevall's side dominated large spells and created the better chances - they should have been 2-0 up when striker Stina Blackstenius raced through one-on-one with debutant Yamashita, but the City goalkeeper did well to block her effort.
In the end, they had to settle for a draw after a pulsating encounter between two sides who hope to have their hands on the WSL trophy at the end of the season.Rate players out of 10 throughout or after the game.
