Neutrals have Stina Blackstenius to thank after her two late goals for Arsenal against Manchester City ensured the conclusion to the WSL title race will be thriller.
City’s battle with Chelsea is on a knife edge and could come down to goal difference — as long as Chelsea do not slip up in their game in hand at Tottenham on May 15.
After going ahead through a fine finish by Lauren Hemp, City gradually allowed the Gunners into the game.

Then, three minutes later, Kim Little’s cross found the Swede’s head and she converted.
