Substitute Blackstenius scored in the 89th and 92nd minutes to snatch a memorable win for the Gunners and snap City's long winning run.

Gareth Taylor's side had won their last 14 WSL matches, dating back to a 1-0 loss to Brighton and Hove Albion in November, which itself came on the back of another 2-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Lauren Hemp's 17th-minute opener set WSL leader City, which was saying farewell to retiring captain Steph Houghton, on its way, but despite mustering 1.3 xG in the first half, the hosts could not add to their lead.

Arsenal duly made them pay, with Blackstenius cropping up with the equaliser in the 89th minute.

The comeback was complete three minutes later, Blackstenius proving Arsenal's hero as the Gunners frustrated City and moved into second place.

City, which faces Aston Villa in its final match of the season next week, remains six points clear of Chelsea, with Emma Hayes's team still having three games remaining, including a fixture against relegated Bristol City next weekend.

Elsewhere, Liverpool overcame Manchester United 1-0 thanks to Jenna Clark's goal in first-half stoppage-time.
