Arsenal scored three times in seven second-half minutes to come back from 3-1 down to beat West Ham 4-3 in a Women’s Super League classic.
West Ham had raced into a two-goal lead inside the opening 12 minutes through Amber Tysiak’s double before Chloe Kelly had pulled one back before the break.
The visitors appeared to be heading for a shock victory when Shekiera Martinez restored their two-goal lead in the 51st minute but only 11 minutes later they would trail.
Katie McCabe netted from an improbable angle, catching goalkeeper Kinga Szemik out at her near post, to pull one back in the 56th minute.
And within 120 seconds, Leah Williamson had levelled the game with a superb header at a corner that Szemik tipped onto the underside of the crossbar but couldn’t stop from crossing the line.
Arsenal were rampant and forced a penalty when Kirsty Smith handled in the area, with Mariona Caldentey stepping up and finding the bottom-left corner to complete the incredible comeback.
