Arsenal’s WSL record winning-streak was ended at the 15th game after a sensational late Manchester United comeback stunned the Emirates, following Alessia Russo’s 90th minute winner.
Jonas Eidevall's team had led 2-1 with only five minutes to play but were dealt a sucker punch after two late goals from defender Mille Turner and England forward Russo. In a pulsating second-half, Arsenal had managed to get themselves in front when Austrian full-back Laura Weinroither fired home a Katie McCabe cross from the left in the 73rd minute.
But they were undone by two set-pieces delivered by Katie Zelem, the late goals seeing United join Arsenal on 18 points. In truth, the Gunners’ perfect start to the season had looked in real danger for much of a high-quality contest in front of a 40,064 strong crowd. Only a heavily deflected Frida Maanum goal was able to get the league leaders level, after United had led at the break thanks to an Ella Toone strike.
