Arsenal exacted revenge on Manchester United earning a 2-0 win over the Red Devils and keeping their European hopes alive. 

A Caitlin Foord run and pass found Jill Roord whose shot went in off a deflection from Millie Turner; she was credited with an own goal. 


United had ample chances to equalise but it was Arsenal who would score next. Lotte Wubben-Moy's header from a corner extended the home side's lead. Beth Mead's red card made the final half hour more tense for Joe Montemurro's side but they ultimately took home all three points. 

Alanna Kennedy's Tottenham and Bristol did battle with the teams playing out a 1-1 draw. Siri Worm's third minute opener was cancelled out by Gemma Evans' second half equaliser.
