Arsenal held to 1-1 draw by London City Lionesses in WSL match

  • Arsenal drew 1-1 with London City Lionesses in the Women's Super League.
  • Mary Earps, the visitors' goalkeeper, delivered a strong performance.
  • This was Arsenal's fifth draw in ten WSL matches this season.

Arsenal and London City Lionesses played out an entertaining 1-1 draw in the Women's Super League. The result, however, did little to boost European qualification hopes for Renée Slegers’s Arsenal side, as London City Lionesses' goalkeeper Mary Earps produced a fine display to thwart the North London team.

Frida Maanum opened the scoring for Arsenal early on, but her goal was quickly cancelled out by a finish from Isobel Goodwin. Arsenal ultimately had to settle for their fifth draw in ten Women’s Super League matches this season.

Earps made several key saves throughout the match, including from Lisa Baum and Caitlin Foord. In the second half, she denied Maanum twice, once from close range and again from a high curler that looked destined for the top corner.

England head coach Sarina Wiegman was in attendance, ahead of naming her next England squad on Tuesday morning.

Why this matters: The draw impacts Arsenal's European qualification hopes, despite having secured a recent draw with European champions Barcelona.
