    Late, late, late in the game... Arsenal force a corner. It goes deep - too deep. United clear the second ball.

    Ella Toone

    Could this be the winner? The hosts break the deadlock through Ella Toone, whose low shot goes in off the inside of the post. Jess Sigsworth made the goal, chasing down a loose ball, winning it and squaring the ball unselfishly for Toone to open the scoring at last.
