Beney’s 88th‑Minute Winner Lifts Man City Over Arsenal To Tighten WSL Title Race

The victory moves City to second, one point behind Chelsea.

Overview

  • Teenager Iman Beney came off the bench to score her first goal for Manchester City in the 88th minute and seal a 3-2 win.
  • Khadija Shaw opened the scoring and was involved in City’s other goals, with Kerstin Casparij putting the hosts 2-1 ahead from close range.
  • Arsenal twice drew level through Mariona Caldentey and former City forward Chloe Kelly, whose late equaliser was quickly overturned.
  • City have four wins from five under new head coach Andree Jeglertz, and several outlets note their lack of European fixtures as an advantage in the title chase.
  • Arsenal’s unbeaten start ended, extending a three-game winless run that leaves them five points off the top.
