Venkatesham has worked in a variety of senior positions at Arsenal and was appointed chief executive in September 2020, following a time of huge change at executive level. The Football Association has appointed former Nike director and banker Nikki Doucet to oversee the process. Palace: Whitworth (GK), Ward, Guéhi, Tomkins, Mitchell, Milivojevic (Ayew 64), Doucouré, Schlupp (Ahamada 82), Olise (Eze 82), Zaha, Edouard (Hughes 64) Lord Harris is a keen philanthropist, supporting a number of charities and projects that help young people to fulfil their potential. The goal gave Arsenal confidence and they went on to dominate the remainder of the half, adding a second when Saka exchanged passes with White inside the box and – jinking inside a challenge – slid a low shot past Whitworth into the net.

Venkatesham was made managing director of Arsenal following the departure of chief executive Ivan Gazidis in 2018. He then worked alongside Raul Sanllehi, the club’s then-head of football, before Sanllehi’s sudden departure in August 2020. Leaders announced in July 2022 that a company would be established to run the top flight from January 2023 , but that initiative has been delayed and could now be put in place for before the start of the 2024-25 season. The Arsenal co-chair added: "That’s true, but if you knew the team was going to win it sure would relieve some of the anxiety." The Nuggets will be the primary focus of Kroenke Sports & Entertainment's focus over the next month or so but there is plenty of work to be done across the sports empire, not least at Arsenal where Mikel Arteta wants to upgrade his midfield. The greater damage however could be psychological, with players, fans and O'Neil all left in despair by the late winner.Representatives from the Barclays Women’s Super League (BWSL) clubs, Barclays Women’s Championship (BWC) clubs and the FA have set up a working group to develop a long term vision and an ambitious business plan for the women’s professional game in England.

For a long time, Bournemouth defended their very early lead with stubbornness and co-ordination, marshalled well by goalkeeper-captain Neto, who made a terrific double save from Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka just minutes after Billing's opener. The announcement aims to help continue Arsenal's success and progress on and off the pitch whilst offering clarity to the club's structure that reflect each of their roles and responsibilities within the club. Lewis is an Arsenal fan and has already been working with the north London side for a considerable amount of time with his influence contributing heavily to where the executive structure finds itself today. However they dropped deeper as the game progressed - until the decisive blow in the final seconds. Partey gets the late party started Arteta may have thought the return of Partey to central midfield, his first start in three weeks, would have given a defensive boost. But the Ghanaian, playing in front of his national team manager Chris Hughton, was at fault for the Bournemouth second. Partey lost his man Senesi from a 57th-minute corner, allowing the Italian defender a free near-post header past Ramsdale.A separate major review of the future of women's domestic football, chaired by former England player Karen Carney, was launched by the government in September 2022 . They might have had another moments later when the No. 15 slid in Zaha making a diagonal run, but squeezing between defender and goalkeeper, his low shot somehow evaded the far post. He played a major role in helping Arsenal to navigate the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic and, alongside sporting director Edu, has overseen the rebuild of the first-team squad following the appointment of Mikel Arteta as manager. was first to come close with a fizzing, dipping strike from 25 yards which forced Whitworth into a sharp two-handed save, punching away from Bukayo Saka on the rebound.

Independent consultant Doucet will lead the group following the delay of a planned Women's Super League takeover.

Arsenal: Ramsdale (GK), White (Jorginho 82), Gabriel (Kiwior 86), Holding, Zinchenko (Tierney 64), Xhaka, Ødegaard, Partey, Saka, Trossard (Jesus 64), Martinelli (Smith Rowe 82) Stan Kroenke said: “This is a simple evolution as part of us all driving Arsenal forward and further reaffirms our family’s long-standing commitment to this great club. Stability in football has never been more important as we move past the pandemic, and we believe this is the perfect time to formalise these roles. Our objectives and ambition will never waver - to field teams that compete for trophies at the highest level and lead our club in a way that inspires our passionate supporters around the world.

The hosts continued to press for further goals, and the Eagles continued to fight until the last, but Saka’s was the last of the goals in north London. With the form which earned Gary O'Neil the permanent manager's seat a distant memory, and now just one win in their last 12 games, a win - or even a point - would have provided a real boost for Bournemouth in their bid to escape relegation. Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish and Aston Villa chief executive Christian Purslow are also on the group alongside Baroness Sue Campbell, the FA director of women's football, and Dawn Airey, chair of the WSL and Women's Championship board.It would therefore be reasonable for Arsenal supporters to worry about what might come next and how this news might affect the side’s fortunes on the pitch.
