Both teams knew this was a win or bust moment for their already fading title hopes and, in that spirit, they served up a breathless seven-goal thriller. It was the visitors, Arsenal, who came out on top to surely confine the remainder of Manchester City’s Women’s Super League campaign to merely a battle for European qualification.
City’s fourth defeat in their past six WSL games was another engrossing but mistake filled match that will be hugely damaging for their hopes of domestic success. On the overall share of the chances, Arsenal probably deserved to edge an end-to-end contest.
