When Katie McCabe's penalty kick went wide of the post, Jonas Eidevall knew the game was up.
Three of the four corners at Kingsmeadow erupted after an hours play on Sunday, while the previously lively away end fell silent. With one kick of a football Arsenal's title push for 2022-23 was finally consigned to the dustbin.
McCabe's poor spot-kick was part of a crazy few minutes that summed up their luck, or lack of it against WSL champions elect Chelsea. Caitlin Foord also managed to hit the crossbar from only yards out when it seemed easier to score, while Stina Blackstenius lost her footing just as the Gunners were building another dangerous attack.
