Arsenal Women completed their pre-season fixtures with a 2-0 defeat of West Ham United at Boreham Wood.
Riko Ueki’s back-post header for the Hammers was well stopped by goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar, her opposite number Kinga Szemik turned away a deflected free kick.
The breakthrough arrived inside the last 20 minutes, when a cross from Jenna Nighswonger was headed home by Frida Leonhardsen Maanum.
Less than 10 minutes later the lead was doubled, Maanum again with the finish as Victoria Pelova delivered a perfectly-weighted ball over the top.
Szemik denied the hosts a late third, with a smart close-range block to thwart Taylor Hinds.
