- Leah Galton opened the scoring after an error from Arsenal’s Sabrina D’Angelo
- It was the Gunners’ first game after manager Jonas Eidevall signed a new deal
- Ferguson’s passing was announced on Friday afternoon in a family statement
Manchester United and Arsenal players wore black armbands in tribute to Lady Cathy Ferguson during their Women’s Super League game on Friday evening.
It was an open game as two of the early season favourites for the Women’s Super League title went head-to-head, with Sabrina D’Angelo’s howler helping United on their way with Leah Galton netting after Stina Blackstenius had opened the scoring.
Gunners boss Jonas Eidevall will have been frustrated that his side were unable to win in their first game after he signed a new long-term deal to remain in charge of the club, with Alessio Russo looking threatening throughout against her former side.
Melvine Malard came off the bench with 15 minutes to go to net what she though was the winner for the hosts on her WSL debut nine minutes from time, but lCoe Lacasse had other ideas and scored an equaliser deep into stoppage time.
Full report to follow.
