Crystal Palace secured a goalless draw against Arsenal last Sunday in the Women’s Super League, frustrating Renée Slegers’ side on home soil.

Arsenal created a host of opportunities during the match but could not find a way through the Palace defence. The stalemate contributed to what has been described as an imperfect start to the season for Arsenal.

The result came ahead of Arsenal’s meeting with Manchester United, who have endured an even more difficult opening to the campaign. United began Eva Olid’s tenure with consecutive defeats, including a 5-0 loss to Chelsea.

For Palace, the draw represented a point earned against an Arsenal side that had chances to claim victory but was ultimately held without a goal.
