    Unbelievable.

    Alessia Russo has been so quiet and then in the integral moment and Hannah Hampton gets a glove to it. She'll be super disappointed, but at the same time, Russo was at the right place at the right time to salvage this game for them.

    That goal was Russo's 50th in the Women's Super League by the way. An incredible landmark to reach.

    Replays showed more than a slight suspicion of offside but the Gunners and their fans won't care. They'll feel that justice has been done after that harsh handball call that ruled out Blackstenius' earlier leveller.

    GOAL - Arsenal 1-1 Chelseapublished at 13:47 GMT

    Alessia Russo (87 mins)

    Arsenal finally have their goal and it's England forward Alessia Russo who's got it.

    The forward was sharpest to react to a loose ball after a shot cannoned off a Chelsea defender back into the box, and she slammed the ball at Lionesses colleague Hannah Hampton who simply couldn't keep it out.

    That was such a close opportunity and Arsenal are doing everything but putting the ball in the back of the net.

    The crowd are really pushing them to get this goal.

    A clear statement change from Sonia Bompastor as we enter the closing stages as she brings off Alyssa Thompson and Wieke Kaptein for the fresh legs of Oriane Jean-Francois and Sandy Baltimore.

  6. CLOSE!published at 13:45 GMT

    Manchester United 0-1 Aston Villa

    Rachel Williams rises highest in the middle to nod Anna Sandberg's cross at goal but Sabrina D'Angelo gathers.

    It's exactly those situations Williams was brought on for.

    Time is ticking away for both Arsenal and Manchester United to salvage something.

    We have about five minutes left plus stoppage time.

    Forgot to say Rachel Williams is on now for United.

    She replaced Jess Park who's had a quiet game this afternoon.

    That's not one Chloe Kelly will want to see again.

    The Lioness had the freedom of the Chelsea box to pick her spot with a volley after great running from Olivia Smith down the right, but she balloons it closer to the corner flag than the net.

    Manchester United 0-1 Aston Villa

    Villa don't look like they're settling here, with the visitors looking likely to add to their lead rather than just hang on.

    Their latest corner is curled into the middle but Phallon Tullis-Joyce does well to rise above the crowd and punch the danger clear for United.

    This is where it gets super scary for Chelsea. They didn't take their earlier opportunities and now it's just one goal in it.

    HUGE cheers around the Emirates as Chloe Kelly looks to save the day.

    Can she do what she's done so many times for England?

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 13:39 GMT

    Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea

    One final throw of the dice from Arsenal boss Renee Slegers as she brings on Chloe Kelly for Caitlin Foord out wide.

    Admittedly the Australian hasn't been as effective as she was in the first half.

  14. CLOSE!published at 13:39 GMT

    Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea

    Ellie Carpenter bursts to the byline on the right before firing a low cross right to the feet of Sam Kerr.

    She has the wherewithal to backheel the ball in the direction of Erin Cuthbert but the Scot can't meet it in time to add to the Chelsea lead.

    Manchester United 0-1 Aston Villa

    It looks like Marc Skinner is preparing to bring on his emergency super sub Rachel Williams in a bid to salvage something from this game.

    The veteran forward has rescued her side countless times before.

  16. 'United pushing hard for equaliser'published at 13:36 GMT

    Villa have been cheap in possession a few times now and they'll be punished if they keep doing it.

    Rachel Daly is playing as their furthest player forward now and there's always a chance her on the pitch and Villa on the break.

    Natalia Arroyo hasn't stopped patrolling her technical area all game. She's made two changes and brought on Sarah Mayling to shore them up at the back and after being asleep for so long, United are awake and pushing hard for an equaliser.

    Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea

    Sam Kerr does well to outmuscle Mariona Caldentey just shy of the halfway line and drive Chelsea up field.

    She then opts to rolls it to Wieke Kaptein for a one two but the return is poor and Arsenal recover the ball.

  18. Postpublished at 13:33 GMT

    With the sheer amount of changes in both games it's been stop-start action in the last few minutes.

    We've got about 15 minutes plus stoppage time to go with both contests finely balanced at 1-0.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 13:33 GMT

    Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea

    More changes at the Emirates.

    Arsenal bring on Frida Maanum and Kyra Cooney-Cross for Stina Blackstenius and Victoria Pelova, while Sam Kerr comes on to a chorus of boos for Chelsea as she takes the place of Catarina Macario.

    There is far too much nitpicking with handball and offside in the game these days, with or without VAR. Time to return common sense to the game...
