"Arsenal managed to level the match in the 21st minute through Frida Maanum. Beth Mead managed to pick Maanum out with a brilliant pass, which went through the legs of Oona Siren, and the Norwegian midfielder smashed the ball past Megan Walsh. The Gunners then made a quick start to the second half as Stina Blackstenius found the bottom-left corner following a backheel assist from Russo in the 52nd minute, before Caitlin Foord headed home from Mariona Caldentey's cross 10 minutes later."
"Manchester City picked up their first WSL win of the season after they also came from a goal down to defeat Brighton 2-1 at home. The visitors took the lead after 14 minutes through Fran Kirby. Michelle Agyemang's initial effort was saved well by Khiara Keating, but the rebound fell to Rachel McLauchlan and she teed up Kirby for a first-time finish from close range."
"Brighton managed to hold onto their lead heading into the break, but City turned up the pressure in the second half as they produced 2.15 expected goals (xG) from six shots on target in the second period. Khadija Shaw scored the equaliser for City two minutes before the hour mark with a brilliant diving header from Leila Ouahabi's cross, before Yui Hasegawa scored the winner in the 74th minute with a composed finish into the bottom-right corner."
Arsenal overturned an early deficit to beat West Ham 5-1, with Daphne van Domselaard’s early own goal neutralized by Frida Maanum’s 21st-minute strike. Stina Blackstenius and Caitlin Foord added second-half goals, and Alessia Russo contributed a backheel assist before scoring twice — a long-range goal in the 89th minute and a stoppage-time penalty. The victory moved Arsenal to the top of the Women's Super League. Manchester City recovered from Fran Kirby’s opener to claim a 2-1 win over Brighton, producing 2.15 second-half xG; Khadija Shaw equalised and Yui Hasegawa finished the winner in the 74th minute.
