ARSENAL NEEDED A controversial stoppage-time winner to see off Everton and move up to second ahead of the final day of action in the Women’s Super League.
Substitute Stina Blackstenius scored in the 93rd minute at Emirates Stadium, with Everton’s Irish goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan and her teammates left furious.

Brosnan claimed she was fouled by England captain Leah Williamson, while they also appealed for offside in the build-up.
The Toffees’ keeper stayed down and received treatment after the goal, and she was consoled by Irish teammate Katie McCabe following the final whistle.
Arsenal, who dominated throughout, now sit two points above third-placed Chelsea ahead of their visit to Liverpool on Saturday. Chelsea host Manchester United, with second place securing automatic progression to the Champions League league phase rather than having to navigate qualification.
Arsenal paid tribute to their departing players, including long-serving Beth Mead, on the pitch after their final home game of the season. McCabe’s future remains uncertain, and the Dubliner appeared emotional in fan footage circulating on social media.
