**Arsenal and Man Utd Women played out a 0-0 draw for the second time in this Barclays WSL campaign, with over 37,000 fans watching at Emirates Stadium.**
Gunners’ goalkeeper Anneke Borbe tipped a Fridolina Rolfö header onto the bar, her opposite number Phallon Tullis-Joyce made a point-blank save from Olivia Smith.
Kim Little could only managed to hit the side United netting from close range, Steph Catley also missed a great opportunity late in the first half.
United were down to 10 players for the last 25 minutes or so after Jade Riviere was shown a second yellow card.
Alessia Russo watched as her close-range effort was somehow denied by Tullis-Joyce, with help from Anna Sandberg.
Little had a 20-yard strike deflected over with stoppage time approaching, but Marc Skinner’s side held on for a point.
The result leaves Arsenal and Manchester United seven and eight points respectively short of leaders Manchester City, who also have a game in hand.
