Russo played a great ball through to Maanum, who timed her run well, before slotting it into the bottom right.<\/p>\n<p>But Brighton could have responded instantly as Rule setup Bex Rayner, who shot straight at Van Domselaar.<\/p>\n<p>We then made three further changes, with Stina Blackstenius, Katie McCabe and Beth Mead coming on for Maanum, Olivia Smith and Hinds.<\/p>\n<p>Kim Little made a good last-ditch block from to deny Madison Haley as Brighton searched for a late winner, before our next change came in the 83rd minute as Chloe Kelly replaced Foord.<\/p>\n<p>Blackstenius saw a late header saved as we were unable to find the winner that would keep us in the WSL title race.<\/p>\n<h3>WHAT&#8217;S NEXT<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;re off to Villa Park this weekend to take on Aston Villa in the WSL at 12pm on Saturday. <a href=\"https:\/\/hd-queue.eticketing.co.uk\/view?c=ticketmastersportuk&amp;e=26y6is1k3hhbssyyoqk2&amp;t=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eticketing.co.uk%2Farsenal%2FEDP%2FEvent%2FIndex%2F3872%3F_gl%3D1%2Agwkfzd%2A_gcl_au%2AMTM0OTYzMzU5NC4xNzc1Mzk0NTQx%2A_ga%2AMTc4OTg5MzIwNC4xNjkyODcxMDg4%2A_ga_WP53Y0W9VR%2AczE3NzgwODU3NTAkbzI3MTMkZzEkdDE3NzgwODYwOTAkajQ4JGwwJGgw&amp;cid=en-GB&amp;enqueuetoken=eyJ0eXAiOiJRVDEiLCJlbmMiOiJBRVMyNTYiLCJpc3MiOjE3NzgwODYyMTcwMDAsImV4cCI6MTc3ODA4NjUxNzAwMCwidGkiOiJjNTE0NzM0OS1iZDlhLTQyOWItODFjZC01ZDZlM2E5YTkzZDgiLCJjIjoidGlja2V0bWFzdGVyc3BvcnR1ayIsImUiOiIyNnk2aXMxazNoaGJzc3l5b3FrMiIsImlwIjoiMTU3LjEyNS4xNDMuMTgyIn0.qRXVUXb8bo9MJFi_esz6gLx_SpazLnip_CG2izpYevTN4dOCSRcLCZT93dhi-pi0.vcmhba5FrMkSGWUTCSK1bHAmVZv3HpWow7B2PxZXzzQ\" target=\"_blank\">Tickets are on general sale for the trip to Birmingham!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>WSL football then returns to Emirates Stadium for our last home game of the season against Everton. <a href=\"https:\/\/hd-queue.eticketing.co.uk\/view?c=ticketmastersportuk&amp;e=26y6is1k3hhbssyyoqk2&amp;t=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eticketing.co.uk%2Farsenal%2FEDP%2FEvent%2FIndex%2F3721%3F_gl%3D1%2A9mabmn%2A_gcl_au%2AMTM0OTYzMzU5NC4xNzc1Mzk0NTQx%2A_ga%2AMTc4OTg5MzIwNC4xNjkyODcxMDg4%2A_ga_WP53Y0W9VR%2AczE3NzgwODU3NTAkbzI3MTMkZzEkdDE3NzgwODYyMTckajYwJGwwJGgw&amp;cid=en-GB&amp;enqueuetoken=eyJ0eXAiOiJRVDEiLCJlbmMiOiJBRVMyNTYiLCJpc3MiOjE3NzgwODYyMzEwMDAsImV4cCI6MTc3ODA4NjUzMTAwMCwidGkiOiIzYjgzZDUxMS0wM2YwLTQ5YzctOTQxMC0zYWFiMWU0YmJiMmMiLCJjIjoidGlja2V0bWFzdGVyc3BvcnR1ayIsImUiOiIyNnk2aXMxazNoaGJzc3l5b3FrMiIsImlwIjoiMTU3LjEyNS4xNDMuMTgyIn0.YGbuDFFlH76G75WMu9j-cRHGtK7zRo1dXWfQ1tiXMhbqiXbxc8SotDoZKNuQX2b9.SRD6VhLG808Fay85Le32mvs50DtCaWHUoPLW9dot45A\" target=\"_blank\">Join us for Wednesday&#8217;s 7pm kick-off for one last time in N5 this season!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2026 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
