Here’s Suzanne Wrack’s report from Meadow Park.

Some reaction from Katie McCabe, the match-winner, speaking to the BBC.

It’s been a lot [this week]. Qualifying for the first semi-final in the Champions League was unbelievable, and then the quick turnaround to get fit. I had a fantastic medical team to help me.

We’re just concentrating on ourselves and each game that’s put in front of us. It’s just another three points [today] and we just need to keep chipping away at it until the end of the season. We want players to go away with their national teams and stay fit, and then come back and prepare for a massive end to the season. It’s going to be an exciting run-in.

Here’s the winning goal. It was a beauty.

All on Chelsea later, who play Aston Villa, and will hope to do rather better than their men’s team did on Saturday against the same opponents. They can leap over Arsenal to go second but it remains so so tight.

A huge win for Arsenal, and a huge loss for City, a real blow for City’s title hopes and it’s Arsenal who look to have the momentum. They go up to second after goals from Frida Maanum and Katie McCabe’s cracking winner. Considering she was on crutches and in a protective boot, that’s quite the story. Arsenal continue to be patched up but a treble is still on,

90+8 min: Shaw is back on, will there be another City chance? The answer is no.

90+6 min: Shaw leaves the field, and Arsenal win a corner. Katie McCabe, all energy and devilment, will take her time.

90+5 min: Bunny Shaw pulls up with some untimely cramp. Or is it worse than cramp?

90+4 min: Surely more will be added on after that delay. Can City do anything with it?

90+3 min: Steph Houghton smashes the ball into the wall, someone goes down, and as the ball falls to Bunny Shaw, play is stopped for Maanum, for it is she, to receive treatment.

90 min: Hasegawa tries to squeak through, and suddenly a foul is called, right on the edge of the box. Six minutes have been added on.

88 min: Rafaelle shows all her experience in clearing out Raso, then far less composure in playing the ball back to City. There is relief when D’Angelo is able to climb on to the ball to buy time.

87 min: Angeldahl off, Mary Fowler on for City. Last throw of the dice?

85 min: Arsenal now banking back, and inviting City on to their back five. The midfield will do the chasing. Shaw, at last, reveals herself, and is played in by Raso, the sub, only for Jen Beattie to do enough to put City’s striker off.

83 min: A long break in play for that injury and that change. City having to find the hustle of the early stages to continue that winning run of theirs.

80 min: City’s Aleixandri is down injured. It’s been some time since Bunny Shaw scored They make a sub. Coombs off, Casparij on.

78 min: Real steel in Arsenal’s comeback. As against Bayern, they found a way back into the game, Jonas Eidevall making changes that paid off.

76 min: As it stands now. So much to play for

The corner is taken short and McCabe, coming in off the right, with that left foot, thrashes in beyond a despairing Roebuck, who gets a hand to it.

74 min: Some angry voices in the Arsenal crowd. There were almost cheers when Maanum smashes on goal after McCabe’s pass. Roebuck’s save is excellent.

72 min: The pattern of play has broken down after those subs, though Arsenal seem far better organised at the back.

70 min: Lia Walti, of Arsenal, is booked for a hefty, late challenge on Angeldal. There are boos but it was deserved.

69 min: Here comes that triple change: Blackstenius, Maritz and Pelova off.

On come Beattie, Jodie Taylor and Kathrine Kühl.

67 min: Those Arsenal subs are sat back down with blankets on. Chloe Kelly meanwhile, takes up a chance to shoot on goal but misses, her shot rattling off the backboard.

63 min: Arsenal will wait on that double change, it seems.

Nice buildup from Arsenal, and eventually Blackstenius swings and misses, City can’t clear the ball and Maanum, the scorer of that Bayern pearler, slots it. Game on!

61 min: Looks like some Arsenal changes are in the offing. “Goo on, Citeh,” roars a reassuringly Mancunian voice in the crowd.

59 min: City try and take the sting out of Arsenal with some possession play.

57 min: The sun is out in Borehamwood and the tempo is lifting. Both teams are going at it, Arsenal seem far less fatigued than in the first half.

55 min: Morgan drops deep to clear City’s lines. They are being far more harried and hurried in this half.

53 min: Morgan concedes an Arsenal corner and home fans find their voice. It’s cleared but McCabe gets another chance to loop it in, and then City go down the other end. Angeldal fails to find Lauren Hemp, who seems a bit out of touch today.

51 min: It’s a more even contest, City not quite exerting the control of the first half.

49 min: A City corner, taken short, Chloe Kelly swings the ball in but it’s cleared as the ball looks to land with Coombs. Gareth Taylor likes a short corner, possibly the Joe Royle influence to his coaching career.

47 min: A sighting of Blackstenius but she fails to connect with the ball. Still, Arsenal already look brighter than before.

46 min: And back away we go at Meadow Park. It’s still grey out there.

The WSL table AS IT STANDS

It’s a deserved lead for the visitors, and Arsenal have struggled to replicate the energy of midweek and to create chances. City have been good for their lead, and it might have been more.

45+3 min: Arsenal struggling to get out of their half. Chloe Kelly shoots and D’Angelo makes a fine save when it was heading goalwards.

45+1 min: Hasegawa takes the short corner, cuts in and shoots just over. Five min utes have been added on to this half.

45 min: City continue to press and harry Arsenal up front but are also defending with quality. Hemp has another chance, this time hitting the target after a Shaw pass. D’Angelo this time has to make a save, palming behind.

43 min: Shaw has dominated Arsenal’s defenders with her power and also her ability to pick up spaces as she drifts across the front. She’s such an improved player.

41 min: Arsenal have a corner, McCabe will take, an inswinger off her left foot, and the ball is flicked across goal. The ball was not quite high enough to cause trouble.
