Crossways – A Women’s Football Show With Steph Houghton and Ian Wright
Arsenal One Step Closer, Bunny Shaw’s Contract, and Manchester United Fall Away
About the episode
Steph Houghton and Ian Wright react to Arsenal women’s 2-1 victory over OL Lyonnes in the UEFA Women’s Champions League semifinal first leg, heaping praise on Olivia Smith and Arsenal’s second-half performance, with some criticism for the way OL Lyonnes played. After calling for goal line technology in last week’s episode, our hosts discuss the moment of controversy in Everton’s heavy loss to Chelsea. Manchester City’s unexpected defeat at the feet of Brighton leads Steph and Wrighty to Bunny Shaw’s contract situation—will we see the striker move to Chelsea this summer? And we end with Manchester United after they refused questions from The Athletic in the post-mast press conference—where do they go from here, and can they salvage anything from this season?
