The conclusion to our five-part documentary Step by Step is now available to view.
In this final episode, Beth and Viv both make their long-awaited return to first-team football, but the journey isn’t over as they vow to continue to highlight, and ultimately change the narrative surrounding ACL injuries in the women’s game.

Interesting to see how upset the Arsenal players were over a United player getting injured. You can sometimes forget as fans that these players in rival teams are part of the same community, they can compete hard on the pitch but still be friends and care for each other off it.

[@sandrapatriciaoriguarios4589]

As Viv said, you want to compete with the very best players out there. They're colleagues, no one would want that to happen to them.

I really appreciated the arsenal girls for doing this. 3 utd girls have got acls this season and we didn't get the same amount of media attention for clear reasons as arsenal girls especially lionesses have a lot more media attention so i really appreciate them giving us this as ppl might think cos arsenal haven't had anymore recently, no clubs are. people advocate for acl awareness but are only aware when their team have acls.

😊😅😂😢

I love the little moment at 11:38 when Rachel Daly welcomes Beth back to the pitch. Class.

[@clauraflores]

When Rach Daly taps Meado on the shoulder as she came on 🥹 so cute! You couldn't not be happy to see her running onto the pitch.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST DOCUMENTARY EVER

[@edyak6280]

I witnessed both injuries and it broke my heart to see you in pan. And now, my heart has fully melted seeing you both back on the pitch and happy again. As a 57 year old man, I’m proud to follow two magnificent professional footballers who are the best ambassadors their sport could have.

[@naimahagbenoto2865]

No matter how many times I see the returns, it still gives me chills. Big ❤ to both Viv and Beth for sharing their journeys.❤

[@angiekoch5865]

Great documentary. Viv has become such a natural around the cameras! Hope in 2024 we see the whole ACL gang back!

[@mapileons]

[@kristiannelson1851]

17:10 - Something so powerful about how Katie says this! The GOAT returning!

[@NatalieSummers12]

Thank you so so much for producing this documentary. I’m day 3 post ACL/meniscus surgery and cannot explain how much watching this has helped me. Despite the pain I know I’ll be able to get through now. Keep doing what you’re doing🤍

[@rooneylee7824]

I finished all 5 episodes in 3 days. This is more than just a sports documentary. This should serve as an educational reference for the sports medicine world, especially as a medium for future women's sports development. I hope that girls playing soccer at the youth level can play soccer more safely while minimizing the likelihood of major injuries like ACL Mead and Miedema have gone through. I would give full credit to Mead, Miedema, Dr. Gary Lewin, Arsenal staffs, and external experts for taking part in this documentary series.

[@evanpotts1824]

just wonderful to see Beth make that pass so Arsenal could score ! the road back was very long and hard, but the rejoicing is total

[@Footballeditz268]

I was so happy to see her come on. We were all cheering for her and she assisted the winning goal ❤❤❤

[@Arsenal_LionessEditz]

Loved this documentary these girls don't deserve the injuries but im so proud of them theve made us all proud with how far they have come we love you! ❤

[@hahafalseflag5090]

The first dr that figures out a training regimen to strengthen little girls ligaments at an early age will be golden.

[@mariewhite5481]

That's documentary is so interesting! Thank you very much! So so proud of Viv and Beth ❤️

[@biancaavellanwowoo]

this is so interesting!! I’m in love with this documentary ❤️❤️

[@CharlieGill311]

THIS IS THE BEST DOCUMENTARY EVER NOTHING COUPD BEAT IT

[@krisjohnson-proctor355]

I’m not an Arsenal fan but yeah, I really enjoyed watching this,thanks (Arsenal)!

[@tecnicosamper5288]

this documentary was the best thing I have seen for years on the subject of football.

[@rexallahroxy507]

A very very good documentary, am so happy and proud that these two are now back playing again.

[@neuzie4love]

Amazing documentary. Massive respect for the whole arsenal family for shining a light on this topic! Hopefully football-circumstances will get better adjusted to women. Love this team somuch ❤

[@janebridle1657]

I honestly thought this would be boring ,but it was a fascinating insight .

[@SaraCatriona]

loved this!! as a private elite s&c for footballers, this is great!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kizzyfarrell6156]

I have enjoyed watching This What a brilliant couple of role models you are for woman football. You two are fighters with positive Attitudes to life I wish you 2 all the best For the future And that dog is so cute 🎉🎉❤🎉

[@m123.5]

I loved seeing the girls up close! Welcome back to the pitch! ❤

[@tdb1726]

This was great. I had so many feels during the whole thing

[@Miekzz]

love these girls, this team, this time for women in football 💖 can't wait for the season to resume. COYG!

[@SaraCatriona]

big up to the girls! even bigger successes hopefully onwards!!! :)

[@Astrokittens]

A really well put together documentary. Really does help that Beth and Viv are quite similar but also quite different in their outlook. Beth always comes across as relentlessly positive and optimistic, Viv a bit more cautious. Nice to see both perspectives on it. Proud of my club for constantly trying to be at the forefront of womens football. Makes me genuinely proud to be an Arsenal fan in a time where connections to mens football and PL clubs feels harder to come by.

[@The_Real_Kitsune]

Thankyou for posting this series for all of us

[@davewright8206]

see daly give her a handshake 😘 utv

[@mariannek2u]

Beth screaming: doe normaal in Dutch is the best 😂

[@Sojee19]

I am amazed by viv's intelligence..

[@SaraxAdam]

thank you for making this :')

[@saidirachid8213]

Great to see you the brilliant ones👏😁❤

[@marleeng1390]

Prachtige documentaire serie!

[@karmalama4374]

One of the best video I hv witnessed as a arsenal fan ,this brings so much positivity

[@wathor]

thx 4 producing this !

[@moonchild7o0]

Loved the documentary

[@jodie132]

❤❤❤

[@maasbs]

Is Leah getting her own doc? Almost zero of her but Laura made some small but important appearances.

[@theyoutubecurator8202]

I've got a feeling Leah didn't want to be part of this. she's very private about her recovery and that's absolutely fair.

[@jplay1i973]

I want to emphasize that this documentary has to broadcasted all over the world. These sort of injuries should happen less, and I think the UEFA and FIFA have a large responsibility in it. Football is a great sport to watch but they have to reduce the amount of fixtures. I know Football is a commercial sport, but that doesn't have to cause players severe injuries like ACL and so on. With love from the Netherlands, and a huge fan of woman's football.....

[@mariaalpizar8134]

excellent stories, I need it to be in Spanish 

[@Jillroord4life]

Is this the last episode ❤

[@melperkins4862]

Interesting to see Arsenal making a documentary about ACL and then not allowing a player to come back from an ACL and fully recover

[@justkally_]

Tell me why KZbin skipped me from episode 1 to episode 5

[@carolinemanetta3548]

Mary Earps was successful in badgering Nike to make her replica shirts. Why cant you guys badger nike or adidas etc to make proper women's boots? Surely that will help a little....🤔 👍💪😁

[@CilokCimol-mk6cf]

Come on midema

[@user-lq7de5xc1d]

Still confused why Viv came back so early she was a month behind Beth. But both returned within a week of each other❓❓

[@bubbleblow7461]

every recovery is different and Beth missed out on group training and game time due to summer break

[@ju3f330]

Уважаемые игроки и тренерский штаб мужской команды! Обращаюсь к вам! Вы нахуя с ливерпулем вничью сыграли? Я конечно понимаю, что вы там все устаете, но еще больше болельщики устают смотреть на этот позор... Я, как болельщик арсенала, с 5ти летним стажем, могу заявить, что я не намерен терпеть игру таких персонажей как Александр Зинченко, человек не справилася 1-1 с Мухамедом Салахом! Стыд и позор, Александр! Я поставил 500 рублей на победу арсенала! Верните пожалуйста деньги!

[@Lilyslittlelifee]

[@maggiebarrettbarrett5684]

I honestly don't know what Beth Mead sees in her .

[@kristinaramirez5350]

You're crazy

[@idoye5112]

Such an amazing documentary! So proud of the girls and Arsenal for all the positive changes they are influencing in women's football. ❤️🤍
