⏱️ Man United Women cancel out Arsenal's record-breaking opener
The WSL goals have been flying in during the final day of the season, but Chloe Kelly was the quickest off the mark.
Kelly took just 115 seconds to open the scoring at the Emirates, where Arsenal face Man United for a straight battle for second place in the 2024/25 WSL table.
It was the fastest ever WSL goal at the stadium, but the hosts' celebrations didn't last long as Ella Toone's header pulled United level just 10 minutes later.

Arsenal in talks with Chloe Kelly over permanent move
Arsenal have confirmed that discussions are ongoing with Chloe Kelly over a new contract. Kelly, 27, joined the club on loan from Manchester City in January and played a vital role in their Champions League victory last month. The winger's Manchester City contract is also due to expire this month, so a permanent move away this summer was expected. Advertisement At the time of joining Arsenal on loan, Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion were among other clubs interested. After starting Arsenal's Champions League final win over Barcelona, she said: 'As soon as I stepped foot in this club, I found happiness. 'Renee Slegers, as soon as she got on the phone to me, to give me the opportunity to represent this badge, I wanted to repay her. From being in such a dark place to now, it's crazy. 'I was ready to take a break from football completely. I'm just grateful. 'If it's my last game for the club, I'll forever be grateful,' the winger said. 'I know I've given my all to Arsenal and Arsenal has given their all to me. They gave me an opportunity to step foot on the pitch and find happiness. It's not about football at times. No matter what happened today, the club gave me happiness.' The winger made just one league start for City last season. At Arsenal she made 13 appearances, six league starts, scoring two and assisting six goals. ()
