\"\"Arsenal Women clinched the Super League title for the first time since 2012 with a 4-0 victory over Brighton.<\/p>\n

Vivianne Miedema opened the scoring with her 22nd goal of the season after six minutes, the Dutch striker hitting a thunderous shot from the edge of the area which went in off the underside of the crossbar.<\/p>\n

And the 22-year-old then turned provider after half an hour, setting up team-mate Katie McCabe to double the visitors\u2019 lead at the Amex Stadium.<\/p>\n

Beth Mead made it 3-0 with a superb long-range effort and Danielle Van De Donk completed the rout in front of a record crowd of 5,265.<\/p>\n

Miedema told BT Sport: \u201cI came to Arsenal to win the league but I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve realized what we\u2019ve done yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy we\u2019ve done it and we\u2019ve done it with a 4-0 win. Joe (Montemurro) changed a lot when he came in, so he has to take a lot of credit, but more than anything he really made us believe in ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fellow goalscorer Mead added: \u201cIt\u2019s hard to describe right now but it\u2019s been a long time coming \u2013 everyone\u2019s ecstatic.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe says we\u2019ve had a lot of ups and downs as a group with injuries and things like that so enjoy the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
