Arsenal were rescued by a 95th-minute equaliser from Smilla Holmberg, securing a point in a 1-1 draw at home against Manchester United. The late goal, a back-post finish from Leah Williamson's cross, broke Manchester United's determined resistance.
Manchester United, under Eva Olid, claimed their first point of her tenure. Julia Zigiotti Olme gave them a precious lead with an against-the-run-of-play strike, slotting the ball home through the legs of Misa Rodríguez after a costly error from Georgia Stanway.
The draw means Arsenal have failed to win at home for a second consecutive game and now trail defending champions Manchester City by four points after just three rounds of fixtures. Manchester City currently hold a 100% record.
Arsenal now face significant scrutiny, especially with upcoming away trips to Chelsea and Manchester City in the league, alongside the start of their Women’s Champions League campaign.
