"It was the second week in a row the Gunners have dropped points, following a goalless draw at Manchester United last Sunday. We've lost four points and that's not what we've wanted, Slegers said. We need to learn from this and learn very fast. We had more possession and solutions, but we didn't have enough urgency in and around the box. When the game is 1-0 the opposition always believe they can get back in it."
"It was a frustrating afternoon for the home side in front of 24,712 fans and the point was just reward for a resilient Villa performance that was let down only by a defensive error for Frida Maanum's early opener. Missy Bo Kearns's short pass was intercepted by Mariona Caldentey and fed to the Norwegian for her to slot her shot past Sabrina D'Angelo."
Renee Slegers said her Arsenal team are already under pressure after dropping four points in their opening four WSL games when Lucy Parker scored a late equaliser for Aston Villa. The draw followed a goalless stalemate at Manchester United, leaving Arsenal frustrated despite dominating possession. Frida Maanum opened the scoring after Missy Bo Kearns's pass was intercepted by Mariona Caldentey and fed to the Norwegian. Arsenal managed only two shots on target in the first half despite 28 touches in the opposition area. Villa defended resiliently, produced one shot on target and four touches, and threatened after the break.
