FT: Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal
Wow, what a finish that was then.
It was attack v defence for the final 10 minutes and Man Utd were moments away from their first WSL points.
That's football though and Arsenal head back to north London with three well-earned points.
We'll see you a week on Saturday as Manchester United host Liverpool.
Have a great night!
'Man Utd need a goalscorer'

Mary Earps made some fantastic saves and Manchester United will need that experience throughout the season.
What they really need is a goalscorer. They scored so many goals last season but now it's about converting their chances in this league.
But they have got two really difficult games out of the way in Manchester City and Arsenal, and Casey Stoney will now be looking at how United can get three points from their next game.

'Relentlessness' key for Arsenal

The Arsenal bench went mental when the goal went in because they know that every point is important when they're going for the Championship.
They had a tough game tonight.
On chances created they were by far the better team and they deserved the three points. However, Manchester United gave them a tough game tonight but the relentlessness from Arsenal ground eventually ground them down.

That's it.
A late goal is the difference. Arsenal were the better of the two sides, and deserve this win. It's harsh on Man Utd, they defended so well.

You can tell by the jubilant celebrations from the Arsenal bench just how tough this game has been for the defending champions. Joe Montemurro's face tells the story. Relief and passion.
They've finally, finally forced a way through.

It was relentless and that goal was definitely coming. It was shot after shot, deflection after deflection.
Eventually it went in and you can't say that Arsenal didn't deserve that goal. The Manchester United defenders are on their knees.
