  • "The match resulted in six league records. The final score was a record scoreline, surpassing Liverpool's 9–0 defeat of Doncaster in 2013." - I'm not seeing where six league records is mentioned in the source. There's six records listed in the prose; can you provide a source that specifically states that six records were broken, though?
    I'm afraid I suspect there is no such source. Theoretically there could be 7 records or even more. Should the prose therefore change into something like "The match resulted in at least six league records."? And then add six refs, one for each of the records? Or alternatively, drop the whole sentence altogether?
  • Statistics table - I'm not seeing where the clean slate of no yellow/red cards is in the source
    By omission. If there is a yellow or red card, then the BBC displays them at the top of the match report. See for instance here [1] which is a match played on the same day. If there is no yellow or red card then the BBC simply doesn't say anything.
  • "The defending champions then managed successive wins against Manchester United and Brighton, before losing their away game at Chelsea. Wins over Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool gave them eighteen points from seven games" - Source link now goes to the current season's schedule, so this is no longer supported. This specific URL is used as a source 7 times, so you'll need to find a workaround for that. Maybe see if the internet archive has an archive at a timely point. Also not finding where the eighteen points from seven games is.
    The problem is that the FA does not have specific urls for the various seasons. On the Internet Archive you still have to navigate on page to the 2019-20 season. Is it permissible to add some guidance to the reference, something along the lines of "Season 2019-20, Results", kind of like page numbers in a book?
    The eighteen points from seven games is summarising the prior sentences. Wins over West Ham, Manchester United, Brighton, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool, and a loss to Chelsea. I have added a ref to the BBC page with the table showing 18 points from 7 games.
  • "Miedema scored the match's fourth goal from very close range after receiving a pass from Mead." - So from working through the stuff at the top, the 4th goal is at 32' and was scored by Miedema and assisted by Mead. However, I'm not seeing where it is stated to be at very close range
    This is a bit tricky to find on the page: about halfway down is a button that says Live text. This has 4 "pages". On page 3 of 4 it describes the 4-0 goal.
  • "Miedema became the first player to score a double hat-trick" - Checks out

Well, thanks ever so much for your time and attention to detail. I hope we can work out the remaining issues. Edwininlondon (talk) 22:23, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

  • "Bristol finished the terminated season in tenth position, narrowly avoiding relegation" - Checks out
  • "Bristol manager Oxtoby said her team did not follow the game plan, resulting in an unacceptable performance. She described the players and staff as "devastated", adding, "We need to move on because, from my perspective, there's nothing to be learned from that."" - Checks out
  • "Both squads were at full strength before the game, reporting no injured players" - "Full strength" is supported, I guess "reporting no injured players" is a logical gloss of that phrase.
    Indeed.
  • "Miedema's first hat-trick of the day came in the thirty-sixth minute, after she scored another goal at close range. Arsenal went into the half-time break with a 5–0 lead" - where is close range supported here?
    Same as above, in the Live text part of the page.
  • Match rules - We need page numbers, the 91-page range is too much
    Done
  • "Arsenal and Bristol had met on 21 November in the League Cup. Arsenal won that match 7–0" - Looks fine
