Renee Slegers drops first points as interim boss after late equaliser

Arsenal Women were held to a draw against Manchester United Women thanks to Melvine Malard's late equaliser after Alessia Russo opened the scoring against her former side.

Arsenal were the better side throughout the first half but lacked a cutting edge in the final third as Russo, Frida Leonhardsen-Maanum and Caitlin Foord all came close to breaking the deadlock.

Former United striker Russo tested Phallon Tullis-Joyce after the interval with a looping header before Lia Walti also threatened from distance - but the search for the opener continued for Slegers' side.<
