Alessia Russo scored a late equaliser to salvage a 1-1 draw for Arsenal against Aston Villa as Renee Slegers' side failed to make their dominance count at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners had 27 shots in total at the Emirates but were left frustrated by a stoic defensive performance from Villa, who sat deep to preserve their lead after Chasity Grant scored with their only shot of the game in the 25th minute.
Villa defended valiantly, supported by eight saves from Akane Okuma, before Russo latched onto Stina Blackstenius' cross to head home the equaliser in the 85th minute.
