Arsenal women's player ratings vs Brighton: The WSL title race is over! Gunners' week goes from bad to worse as Frida Maanum's goal not enough to earn victory and keep Man City from the trophy
Arsenal's Title Hopes Slip Away
Arsenal's slim chances of pipping Manchester City to the Women's Super League title ended on Wednesday as the Gunners' 1-1 draw at Brighton saw the Cityzens crowned champions for the first time in 10 years.
Rotations Can't Excuse Dropped Points
Coming off the back of some demanding Champions League exploits, Renee Slegers rotated for the trip south, but that was no excuse for the dropped points, with the Seagulls' own much-changed cast thriving to play yet another surprisingly prominent role in the WSL title race.
- Brighton opened the door for Arsenal by beating Man City 3-2 less than two weeks ago.
- Liverpool frustrated Man City at the weekend, but a stoppage-time winner from Rebecca Knaak left the Gunners needing to win all of their three games in hand to stand any chance of becoming champions of England.
The WSL title race has seen several twists and turns this season.
Frida Maanum's Goal Not Enough
Less than two weeks ago, it was Brighton who opened the door ever so slightly for Arsenal by beating Man City 3-2 in a result that left the league leaders with no margin for error. Frida Maanum's goal for Arsenal was not enough to earn victory against Brighton.
