Manchester United substitute Melvine Malard snatched an 83rd-minute equaliser to earn her side a 1-1 draw with Arsenal, with former United striker Alessia Russo getting the Gunners' goal in an intriguing Women's Super League clash on Sunday.

Given a hostile reception by many home fans in the day's early kickoff, Russo had a number of good chances before breaking the deadlock with a tidy finish in the 63rd minute as Arsenal dominated their hosts.

United struggled to threaten the Arsenal goal until Malard got enough on Rachel Williams' header from a corner to steer it past Daphne van Domselaar and into the net.
