Arsenal's women's soccer team had a perfect record at Emirates Stadium in the WSL for a long time. But now they've dropped points after drawing with Aston Villa. Lucy Parker scored the goal in stoppage time.
- Arsenal led early through Frida Maanum, who capitalised on a Villa defensive error to slot home.
- Despite dominating with 67% possession, 19 total shots, and 28 touches inside Villa’s penalty area, Arsenal struggled to break Villa down further.
- Villa remained compact and committed until the end, and seized the moment in injury time: Lucy Parker, a substitute, converted the loose ball from a corner after Van Domselaar had parried Lynn Wilms’ free kick.
- The draw marks the second match in a row Arsenal have dropped points (following last week’s 0–0 vs Manchester United), leaving them with just 4 points from 4 matches.
- The match drew a crowd of 24,712 at the Emirates Stadium.
- With this result, Arsenal miss a chance to climb near the top of the WSL, while Villa gain a valuable away point to build momentum.
