| Oshoala rounding goal keeper Megan Walsh for second. |
A double from Super Falcons attacker Asisat Oshoala on Sunday saw the Arsenal Ladies triumph 2-0 over Notts County Ladies in the Women’s
Super League to boost their chances of securing Champions League football next season, despite having only 10 players for the last half hour.
Notts edged a tight first half lacking clear-cut
chances, but Arsenal led when Oshoala profited from a poor backpass to run
through and slot home in the 47th minute.
Gunners goalkeeper Emma Byrne was then sent off for
bringing down Ellen White.
But Oshoala's shot sealed the win after a mistake by
goalkeeper Megan Walsh in the 69th minute.
The victory means Arsenal still have a remote chance of
winning the league on goal difference.
But they would need to win all of their remaining four
Women's Super League games and hope unbeaten leaders Man City lose all three of
theirs - as well as overturning a goal difference of 18.
However, Arsenal are only two points behind
second-placed Chelsea giving the Gunners a much more realistic chance to play
in Europe next season.
The Blues - who thrashed Birmingham earlier on Sunday -
have played a game less, but still have to meet Manchester City.
