Arsenal secured a dramatic 1-1 draw against Manchester United by scoring a last-gasp equalizer, denying the visitors a historic first Women’s Super League victory. The match saw Smilla Holmberg find the net deep into stoppage time to salvage a point for the home side.
The result stings for Manchester United and head coach Eva Olid, who had taken charge of the team for just her third game in the role. Olid had been aiming to secure her maiden win as United’s manager, but Arsenal’s late intervention ensured the points were shared.
Manchester United had looked poised to break the duck and provide Olid with a winning start to her tenure, but Arsenal’s resilience in the dying moments turned the contest into a stalemate. The draw means Arsenal remain competitive in the league standings while United leave empty-handed despite a strong performance for much of the fixture.
