Report: Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal Women

Our Gunners were held to a draw away to Manchester United in the Women's Super League, despite a spirited performance.

Alessia Russo gave us the lead with a first-time finish before Melvine Malard equalised late on to deny us our first victory at the Leigh Sports Village since 2021.

WHAT HAPPENED

Leah Williamson returned to the starting XI after missing out against West Ham United last time out, pairing up with Steph Catley at the back.

An explosive start to the game saw both sides applying heavy pressure on the respective backlines, with the hosts earning two early corners.
