Arsenal had been hoping to mo🎃ve level on points with second-place Chelsea on Sunday, and were on course to do just that when Alessia Russo scored from close range in the 80th mi💟nute.

That opener camꦆe after a glut of missed chances from the visitors, who were wasteful throughout at Walton Hওall Park.

Russo should have put the game to bed in the🐓 third minute of stoppage time, only🧸 to blaze over with the goal gaping, and the Gunners were subsequently made to pay.

Arsenal failed to clꦫear♉ their lines from a corner, with Hobson able to rise up and plant a brilliant header into the back of the net, with the 16-year-old becoming the youngest-ever WSL goalscorer in the process.

The draw leaves Arsenal in third on 44 p🐲oints, meaning their title hopes will be ended should Manchester City beat Bristol City later on Sunday.
