The 2011 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 24th season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the first edition of the FA WSL, England's new top flight for women's football. In April, Arsenal played in the first ever WSL match, defeating Chelsea 1–0 at Imperial Fields, thanks to a goal from Gilly Flaherty, the first goal in WSL history.[1] Arsenal won the inaugural title,[2] and also played in the FA Women's Cup, and the FA WSL Cup, winning the former against Bristol Academy[3] in May and the latter against Birmingham City in September.[4] They also competed in the UEFA Women's Champions League, losing at the Semi Final stage to Lyon.[5]
