"Arsenal missed the opportunity to make up ground on their Women's Super League title rivals as they drew 0-0 with Manchester United, who had Jayde Riviere sent off. Riviere was given her marching orders after committing two bookable offences, the second of which was a late challenge on Caitlin Foord in the 65th minute. But United stood firm against a barrage of Arsenal shots at the Emirates Stadium, with Phallon Tullis-Joyce remaining unbeaten between the sticks to keep the gap between the teams"
"Arsenal bossed proceedings from the first whistle, with Kim Little and Olivia Smith missing their best first-half chances. The former struck the side netting from Katie McCabe's cutback, while the latter was denied by Tullis-Joyce at close quarters. The pattern of the game barely changed when Riviere was sent off, with a combination of Anna Sandberg and Tullis-Joyce keeping out Alessia Russo's shot from inside the six-yard box."
"Data Debrief: Arsenal fail to make dominance count It was one-way traffic for much of Saturday's game, with Arsenal firing off 25 shots to United's four, with the Gunners also winning the expected goals (xG) battle by 2.3 to 0.43. That is the most shots Arsenal have attempted in a single WSL match this campaign, surpassing the 22 they recorded in a 3-1 win at Everton last month."
Arsenal drew 0-0 with Manchester United at the Emirates after Jayde Riviere was sent off for two bookable offences, including a late challenge on Caitlin Foord in the 65th minute. Arsenal controlled the match from the start, producing 25 shots and winning the expected goals battle 2.3 to 0.43, but managed just six shots on target. Phallon Tullis-Joyce and Anna Sandberg made several decisive saves, denying chances from Kim Little, Olivia Smith and Alessia Russo. The draw leaves Arsenal potentially ten points behind Manchester City and trailing Chelsea in the table.
