Overview

• Beney, 19, scored her first goal for City to decide a match that twice saw Arsenal draw level after falling behind.
• Khadija Shaw headed City in front, Mariona Caldentey equalised seconds after half-time, Kerstin Casparij restored the lead, and Chloe Kelly made it 2-2 before the late winner.
• City rise to second and extend their league winning run under head coach Andrée Jeglertz, closing the gap to leaders Chelsea to a single point.
• Arsenal suffer their first WSL defeat of the season and have dropped seven points in five games, heightening scrutiny of defensive lapses.
• Returning to her former club, Kelly scored off the bench for Arsenal, but Shaw was central to City’s goals and helped create the decisive chance for Beney.
