The Gunners were a popular pick for the English title after an outstanding summer transfer window, but an underwhelming start means they are already playing catch-up
Arsenal narrowly avoided a disastrous start to their Women's Champions League campaign as Mariona Caldentey converted a dramatic stoppage-time penalty to secure a 1-0 win over HB Koge. Despite dominating possession against their Danish opponents, the Gunners looked toothless for much of the evening at Boreham Wood.
Sam Coffey and City won, while Emily Fox and Phallon Tullis-Joyce drew 1-1. Chelsea won amid questions over Naomi Girma's minutes and Alyssa Thompson's scoring.
With Chelsea held to a surprise draw by Aston Villa and Arsenal settling for a stalemate with newly-promoted Crystal Palace, the English top-flight already looks set for a season of shocks and upsets
