Report: Arsenal Women 2-3 Manchester United

Over 40,000 people packed out Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening as we fell to our first defeat of the season against Manchester United.

Goals from Frida Maanum and Laura Wienroither weren't enough to stop the visitors from beating us on home soil, as we were undone by two late set pieces.

What happened

The visitors dominated possession in the opening phase, looking dangerous on the break and forcing Manuela Zinsberger to make an early save from a Leah Galton shot across the goal.

In the last fifteen minutes of the half, we eased into a more familiar attacking rhythm in the final third, with Beth Mead nearly finding Caitlin Foord in space in the box.
