  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The Gunners are away on a mid-season training camp and faced the Dutch giants in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Sunday.

  Miedema featured in the game against the side from her home country as Arsenal ran out 3-0 winners, and at full-time Feyenoord made a cheeky attempt to take the striker back to the Netherlands. Manager Jessica Torny presented her with a 'Miedema 11' Feyenoord shirt and said: "We're taking you with us!"

  Miedema is still in the early stages of her return from an ACL injury and will benefit from the mid-season, warm-weather camp in Portugal.

  Despite Feyenoord's apparent interest, she will be fully focussed on Arsenal, who return to action in the Women's FA Cup on Sunday at home to Watford.
