"Khadija Shaw put City ahead before Mariona Caldentey levelled and, in an end-to-end encounter, Kerstin Casparij sent the hosts back in front. Chloe Kelly returned to haunt her former club with a stunning equaliser which looked to have earnt Arsenal a point seven minutes from time but 19-year-old Beney had the final say with a cool strike in the 88th minute."
"The hosts went close early as Aoba Fujino scuffed an effort wide and Arsenal threatened when Olivia Smith broke down the right before hitting a low pass into the box, but Ayaka Yamashita latched onto the ball and Caitlin Foord had a shot blocked. Steph Catley did well to turn Fujino's effort behind before Shaw nodded wide from the resulting corner and Daphne van Domselaar was called into action twice in quick succession to save Hasegawa's menacing corner before palming away Vivianne Miedema's close-range header."
