Russo nets for Reds
There was late drama at Meadow Park as Manchester United struck the only goal of the game to knock out Arsenal.
In a game of few clear-cut chances, Beth Mead dragged a shot wide after United keeper Sophie Baggaley gave the ball away.
A foul by Martha Thomas on Mead not only resulted in a caution for the United striker, but also for opposing head coaches Jonas Eidevall and Marc Skinner.
The decisive moment came five minutes from time, when Katie Zelem’s free kick was headed home by Alessia Russo.
