Arsenal failed to win for the second successive Women's Super League match as Lucy Parker's late equaliser earned a point for Aston Villa at Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners had led since capitalising on a Villa defensive mistake after 10 minutes, when England midfielder Missy Bo Kearns played a careless ball across her own 18 yard box.
Mariona Caldentey intercepted the pass and the ball deflected to Frida Maanum, who fired low past Villa keeper Sabrina D'Angelo.
Norway midfielder Maanum should have made it two before half-time, sliding in to meet Beth Mead's ball across the goal line but somehow putting it wide from a yard out.
And as Arsenal's tempo dropped in the second half Villa came back into the game and snatched a point in the 95th minute when centre-back Parker scrambled the ball home following a corner.
It means Arsenal miss the chance to move top of the WSL, having drawn back to back matches following their stalemate at Manchester United last weekend.
Villa are still winless in four games across all competitions in 2025-26, and remain 10th with two points from their first three league games.
