Arsenal snatched a late draw at home against Manchester United to ensure their unbeaten start to the season remained intact.Julia Zigiotti Olme gave United the lead midway through the second half, but Eva Olid’s side were unable to withstand a late onslaught from the hosts.Smilla Holmberg finally found the back of the net in the fifth minute of stoppage time.Daily Mail Sport’s women’s football reporter TARA ANSON-WALSH was at the Emirates to bring you the things we learned… Arsenal’s Holmberg finally found the back of the net in the fifth minute of stoppage time Julia Zigiotti Olme gave struggling United the lead midway through the second half, but Eva Olid’s side were unable to withstand a late onslaught from the hostsGreen shoots at UnitedAfter the worst start to a WSL campaign in their history, both in terms of points (zero) and goals conceded (seven), following an opening-day defeat by London City Lionesses and a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Chelsea, the last thing United needed was a trip to the Emirates.It will have been a pleasant surprise to United fans, then, to have seen this resilient performance at one of the WSL’s toughest grounds. It also suggested that the tinkering behind the scenes by new manager Eva Olid may be beginning to take shape.The Spanish manager has repeatedly called for her side to be braver, and they were that and then some here.Where they spent their first couple of games in a hurry to implement Olid’s desire to attack, they were more patient here, and it paid off. Hinata Miyazawa and Julia Zigiotti Olme were superb in midfield, and Zigiotti Olme was rewarded with her poacher’s goal in the 67th minute. Hinata Miyazawa and Julia Zigiotti Olme were superb in midfield, and Zigiotti Olme was rewarded with her poacher’s goal in the 67th minuteAn undercooked pass back to Steph Catley from Georgia Stanway was seized upon by the Swedish midfielder, who coolly slotted home before speeding over to celebrate in front of the United fans. The exuberant celebrations from the whole squad pointed to a clear moment of catharsis after a torrid start to the season.Olid, who is clear in where she wants to take the team, said after the match: ‘It’s been an intense week, because there were a lot of emotions from the players, from the staff. No one wants to lose 5-0 (to Chelsea).’I think this week we grew as a team. The first day after we lost 5-0, it was not easy for anyone. And then we spoke and we said “listen, we need energy, that is the most important thing this week. We need a positive mindset and to work hard”. ‘The focus was on the defensive shape and in attack to have more confidence. (Against Arsenal) we had more possession in the first half in periods, we were having the ball, but it’s about being more creative. Keeping the fine, but now we need to break the last line of pressure and create more chances to score more goals.’Arsenal profligate in front of goalAs this game dragged into the closing minutes, another missed chance by Arsenal was met by a chorus of groans.Time and time again, the Gunners were unable to find the back of the net. Olivia Smith, usually one to rely on for a worldie, spent much of the game frustrated by her marker, Anna Sandberg.Alessia Russo also struggled to provide any impact, while Stina Blackstenius was denied from a strong position by Phallon Tullis-Joyce at the end of the first half. Mariona Caldentey was unable to keep a curling shot down and Leah Williamson was unable to find enough power with a shot of her own also in the opening 45 minutes. Russo struggled to impact the game and was kept quiet by a resilient United defensive displayHeading into this game, Arsenal had scored just once from 43 shots in their opening two games, and they appeared to be heading for their first back-to-back league games without a goal in three years until Holmberg rectified the damage in the last minute of the match.Renee Slegers is clear that this is an area that her team need to address. Her assessment of her team’s performance was met by a simple: ‘Not turning dominance into danger.’She later added: ‘If I look at the last two games and dominance and not converting that into goals and wins, that’s something we have to look at. ‘We believe in the quality of the squad, the quality of ideas of the players, and the things that we can create in a variety of ways. When that starts clicking, it’s going to be really good, so it really is about the details in the final third.’ Phallon Tullis-Joyce worth her weight in goldManchester United goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce put in another superb display on Saturday.While she may be limited in her long-range distribution, she more than makes up for it with her shot-stopping abilities.Her best moment came deep into the first half, when Stina Blackstenius’ header was hit with power and appeared destined for the roof of the net, only for the 29-year-old to tip it over.In the second half, Tullis-Joyce popped up again, keeping out Caitlin Foord’s low shot from reaching the far-right corner of her goal.The American shot-stopper is still being considered by Emma Hayes among a pool of candidates to wear the No 1 jersey for the record four-time world champions at next summer’s Brazil World Cup.How United fare this season could impact those chances. More performances like this, though, from both her and her team, and she’ll be on that plane. Manchester United goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce put in another superb display here at the Emirates on SaturdayWhat you give is what you getThere’s nowhere quite like the Emirates for putting into perspective the difference in meaningful investment between two WSL sides.The Lionesses’ European successes have been watershed moments in the evolution of the women’s game, and savvy clubs such as Arsenal have capitalised. At the Emirates on Saturday, there were 29,853 in attendance. This is the norm these days.Recent research conducted ahead of the new season shows that the boom in popularity of women’s football is not going to slow down any time soon.Data collected by Nielsen, a leading firm in media measurement, analytics and insights, showed that the average standalone valuation of women’s football sponsorship deals has increased by 42 per cent over the past year alone. There’s nowhere quite like the Emirates for putting into perspective the difference in meaningful investment between two WSL sidesThe WSL has emerged as a standard-bearer for this commercial progress. Barclays has doubled its previous financial commitment as title partner, taking the investment to £30million over three years.There have also been bridges into popular culture, illustrated by the women’s football focus of the latest series of Ted Lasso and Nike’s recent record-breaking deal with London City Lionesses.Manchester City Women launched their own women’s football brand a couple of weeks ago, while Brighton are building the first purpose-built women’s football stadium. Arsenal and Chelsea have relocated permanently to their men’s stadiums.And Manchester United… well, what you see is what you get.A decent squad of players, albeit one that was unnecessarily pared back in the summer. A very decent fanbase. A new, relatively inexperienced manager still learning the ropes.And beyond that? Pretty much nada.There is no talk of scaling up. No plans to relocate away from the 12,000-capacity Leigh Sports Village.Imagine what would happen if Manchester United, the third most valuable club in the world according to Forbes, threw their hat into the WSL ring for real.A trip to north London on a women’s matchday weekend could give Jim Ratcliffe and Co a pretty good idea.
