No Leah Williamson, Rafaelle injured- no problem for Arsenal who proved they have another side to their armoury after Jonas Eidevall's side discover WSL title advantage after a narrow 1-0 Reading victory.
Despite not converting a flurry of chances, a solo moment of magic from striker Stina Blackstenius coupled with the resilience shown by goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger, who broke the WSL record on Sunday night for the most consecutive FA WSL clean sheets (9), was enough as the Gunner stumbled over the line in Berkshire.
Emma Harries and Natasha Dowie nearly handed Chelsea and Man United a much-needed favour but the Austrian continued to prove why she may be the best shot-stopper in the league currently. She wasn't called upon too often in the first half as back-ups Lotte Wubben-Moy and Steph Catley stood up to the challenge in the absence of the injured and key duo of Leah Williamson and Rafaelle.
