Report: Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal Women

It was a tough night up north as we fell to a narrow loss against Manchester United in the Women's Super League.

Our injury-ridden Gunners put in a valiant performance but in the end, a first-half strike from Alessia Russo was the only difference between the two teams.

What happened

The hosts began the game on top, controlling the possession and putting our Gunners on the back foot in the opening ten minutes.

In a painfully familiar scene, our skipper Leah Williamson went down in the 15th minute after an awkward fall and we were forced into an early substitution.
