JUST WIDE
Arsenal look to finish with aplomb, with Foord cutting inside and taking aim.
Roebuck is flat-footed, but grateful to see the low shot drift marginally the wrong side of the post.
Moments later, Blackstenius is away down the left, but is also off target from a tight angle.

CHANCE
Foord has a chance almost immediately after she is played in by Katie McCabe, but shoots straight at Roebuck.
