Arsenal vs Aston Villa LIVE: Women's Super League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Emirates Stadium
England forward Beth Mead made a vital contribution on her first appearance in 11 months, creating the winner for Alessia Russo as Arsenal scored twice in added time to beat Aston Villa 2-1.
Trailing to Maz Pacheco’s first-half strike, the hosts looked like making it three matches without a win as they headed into 12 minutes of added time.
But Katie McCabe equalised and then Mead, on as an 87th-minute substitute after recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury, laid on the pass for Russo to score as Arsenal became only the third WSL side to win a game after trailing in the 90th minute.
