Arsenal's remarkable run of 14 straight wins at home to Everton came to an end as they were held to a goalless draw by the dogged visitors on Sunday.

In front of just over 25,000 fans, Arsenal nearly took the lead in the ninth minute when Emily Fox's cross-cum-shot bounced off Everton's crossbar and away to safety. Frida Maanum then drew a fingertip save from Courtney Brosnan, but Everton were not just making up the numbers, as Gunners stopper Daphne van Domselaar tipped Veatriki Sarri's long-range effort onto the woodwork shortly before the break.

The north London outfit looked a bit more lively in the final third of the game, as substitute Caitlin Foord rattled an effort off the crossbar. But in the end, an impressive rear-guard effort from the visitors secured them their first point of the season as Arsenal slipped to sixth in the table - behind the top two of Manchester City and Chelsea.
