United were ahead but, just like in the second half against Chelsea, they were caught out on the restart. Maanum – who has scored four goals in his last five appearances for Arsenal in the game – was given a free pass to run from his own half to the edge of United’s box. She shot from distance and United’s Maya Le Tissier pounced on her block. The ball bounced hard into the net.
Mary Earps in goal was furious, the energy at the Emirates turned on its head and the game turned fiery – with 20 fouls shared between the two teams. Caitlin Foord’s tackle on Parris in front of the United goal prompted manager Marc Skinner to run from his seat to the touchline, screaming as he did so – earning referee Kirsty Dowle a yellow card.
In the 73rd minute, Katie McCabe’s fantastic cross into the box fell perfectly for defender Laura Wienroither to escape and her determined volley gave the home side a deserved lead as United lost their heads.
But it wasn’t enough. Turner headed home the inside of the crossbar from Katie Zelem’s free-kick and Russo rose above her defender to head home the winner from a corner – sending the traveling United fans into a frenzy.
