Arsenal women secured a much-needed win against Brighton to keep their WSL title dreams alive... just about.
Olivia Smith’s deflected shot off Marisa Olislagers was enough to see the three points over the line in front of a nervy 27,000-strong Emirates crowd.
While the gap between the fifth-placed Gunners and league-leaders Chelsea remains at five points, defeat would surely have spelled the end for Renee Slegers’ side even this early in the season, such are the fine margins that typically decide the WSL title race.
Daily Mail Sport’s women’s football reporter Tara Anson-Walsh was at the Emirates to witness all the action.
