    United have another chance as the resulting corner is sent back into the box.

    It's met by Nikita Parris, who sends a header over the bar, but the offside flag is up.

    Should she have done better there, Parris would be annoyed to find out that she was actually onside.

    Geyse runs down the right-hand side, but Laia Codina is tight to the United forward and forces her out wide.

    Her eventual effort is deflected wide of the far post.

    The second half hasn't had the same life as the first.

    United have just had the only real chance since the restart as Lucia Garcia finds Nikita Parris with a cross, but Parris' header goes a long way over the crossbar.

    United haven't won a game in which they've trailed at half-time this season.

    They've lost twice in that scenario and drawn once.

    Gemma Evans' substitution felt neccessary from Marc Skinner given she was carrying a booking.

    Leah Galton has been ill this week so we're not sure how fit she is.

    I'm not surprised with the United change. Galton is an attacking player. She will be frustrated to come on as a defensive player. That will be a good battle. She might be a bit tougher to break down out there and is tough to break down. Maybe a better match-up against Mead.

    Arsenal get the second half started.

    The Gunners make a change, with Kyra Cooney-Cross replacing Victoria Pelova.

    There's an attacking one for United, with Leah Galton coming on for defender Gemma Evans.

    Arsenal managing the game & size of pitch well. United a yard of pace and ball watching a lot. Standard of refereeing not where it should be. Make refs full time and give them help.

    Mick, United fan.

    Manchester United need a miracle to get back into this game.

    Seven points behind as it stands, they'll also need a miracle if they're to finish the season in one of the Champions League spots.

    Unbelievable first half from Arsenal. I thought United started the better team and had two good chances very early then. Since then Arsenal have been fantastic going forward. Lacasse and Mead the standout players. For United it's frustrating as it's three avoidable goals. I think Skinner is going to be so frustrated with his team.

    Manchester United have been poor. They need to change something immediately otherwise their hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League are going to be seriously harmed.

    Marc Skinner marches straight down the tunnel at the whistle, while Gemma Evans looks bitterly disappointed as she trudges on her own along the touchline.

    Hayley Ladd eventually comes across to pat her on the back and give her some encouragement.

    Arsenal, meanwhile, have been ruthless going forward and tactically, Jonas Eidevall seems to have nailed it.

    A comfortable first half for Arsenal. A mountain to climb for United.

    Close again!

    Beth Mead and Steph Catley both have efforts saved from close range.

    At 2-0 you give yourself a chance. It's a huge mountain to climb. They are going to have to have a big second half. Defensively Manchester United haven't been good enough. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a change maybe in the second half.

    Four minutes added on at the end of the first half.

    Manchester United will be wanting this to be over as soon as possible.

    Never in doubt is it? Kim Little time and time again. Cool as you like, she sends Mary Earps the wrong way and just buries it into the bottom corner.

    Gemma Evans was already on a booking before making that challenge so she is walking a very fine line. Will that force Marc Skinner into a half-time change?

    He needs to change something because his team are getting thrashed at the moment.

    It's tucked into the bottom corner by Kim Little and Arsenal have a three-goal lead.
