Arsenal had the first chance of the second half as Maanum volleyed Russo over the crossbar after Beth Mead’s effort hit the post deflecting past Holland.
Liverpool almost equalized midway through the half when Smith sensed goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar’s intention to play short and slipped to intercept, but the stopper managed to recover the ball.
Matthews made another nice block to beat Caitlin Foord. Teagan Micah then beat McCabe and Leah Williamson headed a corner over the bar as Arsenal looked to seal all three points.
The Reds were under increasing pressure and Jenna Clark did well to block Kim Little’s attempt with her head.
Beard looked to stem the trend by making a late triple substitution. However, the hosts were unable to test Van Domselaar and their year ended in defeat
