Alessia Russo bagged both goals as Arsenal scraped past Liverpool 2-1 in a Women's Super League clash that was far from pretty - but got the job done.
The result hands head coach Renée Slegers a welcome breather, even if the performance left plenty to debate, The Guardian reports.
Arsenal came out swinging. Lisa Baum rattled the crossbar early on, and Olivia Smith squandered a chance from a tight angle before Russo made no mistake - burying a first-time finish from Emily Fox's delivery.
But Arsenal's lead lasted roughly as long as a Sunday lie-in. Natalia Ramos picked out Beata Olsson, who punished some truly questionable positioning from Arsenal's centre-backs to level things up.
Liverpool thought they'd taken the lead when Jenna Clark turned in from a corner, but the assistant referee flagged Vivien Endemann for offside. Cue bewildered faces across the home side.
The second half offered considerably less sparkle. Liverpool pressed hard for an equaliser, with Cornelia Kapocs blazing a volley wide from a promising position late on. Arsenal, though, clung on like a cat to a curtain.
Not a masterclass by any stretch - but Slegers will happily pocket three points and move on.
