## Summary

London City Lionesses’ 1-1 draw with Arsenal has strengthened their claim to finish in the Women’s Super League’s top three, which would secure a place in next season’s Women’s Champions League. They sit third, six points ahead of Arsenal, after showing they could compete with major rivals while playing with what manager Eder Maestre called bravery.

Frida Maanum put Arsenal ahead, but Izzy Goodwin equalised 98 seconds later with a solo goal. Arsenal had 17 shots and scored once, while London City had 14 shots, hit the crossbar through Delphine Cascarino and relied on Mary Earps, who made eight saves. The club’s summer signings include Earps, Alexia Putellas, Mapi León and Kadidiatou Diani; leaders Chelsea are due to face them in December.
