The north London stadium, usually reserved for the men's team, was sold out for the first time in the history of the Women's Super League.
“Another league record, another historic moment,” wrote the Arsenal club on the X network, announcing the presence of 60,160 people.
The previous attendance record in the WSL dated back to December, with 59,042 people recorded during Arsenal's victory, already at the Emirates, against the quadruple title holders Chelsea (4-1).
Before Saturday, only one women's football match had been played before a sold-out crowd in the Gunners stadium: 60,063 people had been counted for the visit of Wolfsburg (3-2 defeat) in May 2023 in the semi-final of the Champions League, a record for a women's club in England.
Saturday's victory allows Arsenal, third with 31 points, to overtake Manchester United (4th, 24 pts) and get closer to co-leaders Chelsea and Manchester City (34 pts).
