I honestly think Slegers made the subs too early. Completely disrupted the dynamic, Bayern had a foot in the door and they just opened it for them.

The fact Palace are struggling so much with basically the same team they had last season: does that tell us more about them, or the quality of the teams in the #WSL2 ? 🤔

The presence of mind and composure from Sari Kees to knock that across the box to Shannon rather than try and smash it in. 🤌🏻

Sunderland equalise in stoppage time against Arsenal!
Brian Brobbey bundles home for the hosts.
It's the first time Arsenal have conceded twice this season.

Side note, it'll get lost in amidst the drama of that game but Villa beating United at LSV is a massive result.

Obviously Arsenal will be (rightly) immensely frustrated not to take all 3 points but that result does mean Chelsea are within touching distance title race wise. City will go ahead of them if they win tomorrow, and United are within 3 points of them.

Well Russo was definitely offside so universe balanced again I guess?
Such poor officiating. Wasn't a corner, so they panic and course correct by ruling a goal out for a handball that plainly wasn't.

Caitlin Foord been exceptional so far, in fact the best players for me from that half were Arsenal players. They just can't get it over the line. Chelsea seem pretty content to let them have the ball now they've gone ahead. Second half will certainly be intriguing!
