Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Manchester United in the Women's Super League, rescued only by a stoppage-time volley from substitute Smilla Holmberg. The result raises fresh concerns about Arsenal's ability to convert dominance into wins and their growing gap to leaders Manchester City, while offering new United manager Eva Olid her first point and a morale boost after two heavy opening defeats.

Julia Zigiotti Olme gave United a surprise lead after the break, capitalising on a defensive error from Georgia Stanway, before Holmberg equalised in the 95th minute from a Leah Williamson cross. Arsenal, who had already drawn 0-0 at home to Crystal Palace and managed just one goal from 43 shots in their opening two league games, now sit four points behind an unbeaten Manchester City after three rounds, and face away trips to Chelsea and Manchester City next. Arsenal manager Renée Slegers acknowledged the "four lost points" but insisted there was still a long season ahead to turn performances into results.
