Arsenal defender Alex Scott was given a guard of honour in her final home game before retirement
Manchester City's Women's Super League title ambitions suffered a huge setback as they slipped to defeat at Arsenal.
City led at the break through Nadia Nadim's cool finish early on.
But fine second-half strikes from Netherlands midfielder Danielle van de Donk and England forward Beth Mead completed the Gunners' comeback.
Chelsea's win over Sunderland later on Saturday left City six points behind with two games to go, with Chelsea able to seal the title as early as Tuesday.
Arsenal, who have visits to Sunderland and Bristol City remaining, stayed fourth after Reading's win over Liverpool, but moved one point behind City in the race for a Women's Champions League spot.
Nick Cushing's City have arguably the easier run in, with home games against winless Yeovil Town on Wednesday and Everton Ladies to come.
Defending champions Chelsea could seal the title at Bristol City on Tuesday, before rounding off their campaign at Liverpool Ladies.
City can have few complaints about the loss at Meadow Park as Arsenal created the better of the chances and both goals were clinical finishes.
First Van de Donk bent the ball low into the corner from the edge of the area, before Mead fired in from a tight angle to inflict a second straight defeat on the visitors.
