Throughout the game, City showed stronger performance than their opponents but they struggled to convert their opportunities into goals. As a result, Arsenal has now caught up to them in the league standings.
Keating is filled with tears as her team loses at least one point due to her mistake. Her fellow team members rush to console the young 19-year-old.

The Gunners were fortunate enough to secure a win.
At the 90+17 minute mark, Keating grabs a shot from Maanum and kicks it far down the field. However, the ball immediately returns to City.
The game seems to be wrapping up without a chance for City to even things out. Despite some defensive uncertainty from Arsenal, Zinsberger successfully clears the ball.
After 90 minutes plus an additional 14, the city's team should increase their pace. The current speed is a bit sluggish.
At the 90th minute plus 12 additional minutes, Fowler makes a move from the left and takes a shot towards the goal, and Zinsberger does a great job in saving the ball by tipping it over.
According to my calculation, we might be able to extend our time by an additional 10 minutes.
McCabe has received a booking due to a foul committed later in the game.
Keating retrieves a stretched ball with ease.
We will resume playing after the goal was scored over 10 minutes ago, with the kick-off.
At 90 plus 6 minutes, the official in charge is having a conversation with a representative from the stadium's security team. This is happening while they receive some new data.
In the 94th minute, the referee has a conversation with the captains regarding the situation at hand. It seems unlikely that the game will resume anytime soon. To keep themselves warm, the players are passing around some balls.
As we approach the end of the match, there's been a three-minute hold-up. This has left Keating with ample time to ponder over her mistake. It appears that she hasn't managed to regain her composure yet and is still affected by it. The restart is imminent.
We are at the 92nd minute mark, and though 10 additional minutes have been allotted, the match remains paused.
In the 91st minute, Castellanos entered the game, replacing Kelly.
We're experiencing a delay of 90 minutes due to a medical emergency in the crowd.

After 87 minutes of play, McCabe sent a long ball over the top. Keating rushed out to catch it but misjudged the bounce. The ball hit her head and possibly her arm, and as a result, Blackstenius rushed to the ball and scored. Keating looked disappointed. The goal resulted from a mistake made by the goalkeeper.
Arsenal Beats Man City 2-1 With Blackstenius Goal
Keating made a terrible mistake, which led to Blackstenius scoring a goal into an unguarded net.
After 86 minutes of play, Zinsberger made another bad clearance that ended up in the possession of Kelly. Kelly was situated around 25 yards away and attempted to score a goal. Unfortunately, her attempt was unsuccessful as the ball flew over the net.
After 84 minutes of play, Kelly speaks with referee Welch about a penalty appeal in a calm manner. However, Kelly annoys the referee by removing her vanishing foam before she takes a free-kick. The situation appears comical and exaggerated, like something out of a theatrical performance.
In the 82nd minute, Hemp passes the ball to the back post for Shaw, but Catley pushes her in the back, causing her to fall. Although it should be considered a penalty, the referee does not recognize it as an offense.
Miedema is still an available choice for Arsenal to bring on…
It was 80 minutes into the game when Foord managed to make her way into the opponent's box. However, Casparij was quick to take the ball away from her with an impeccable tackle.
After 78 minutes, it seems that Arsenal is being quite sluggish. They aren't displaying a lot of effort to push forward or make moves without the ball to initiate action.
Hemp loses control of the ball on her left side and accidentally touches it with her hand, resulting in a free-kick for the opposing team.
After 76 minutes of play, it's evident that City has improved significantly compared to the first half. They appear to have a higher chance of winning the match.
In seventy-five minutes of gameplay, Blackstenius replaces Russo, who has not contributed much to the match.
In the 74th minute, Keating managed to navigate through a group of players to relieve the pressure by successfully catching a cross from Maanum. However, in the process, she unintentionally knocked her own teammate and captain, Aleixandri, to the ground. Despite this, Keating's actions were solid goalkeeping.
In the seventy-second minute, Hemp cleverly ran into the box to create an opening for her to cross the ball. Unfortunately, the first attempt was thwarted, but Shaw picked it up and passed it to Kelly, who then scored with a slight deflection.
Arsenal Scores! It's 1-1 Against Man City
For the past 70 minutes, there has been a lot of time spent with the ball in the middle of the field, but there hasn't been much action or scoring opportunities in either team's goal box. Currently, it seems like City has the upper hand.
In the game's 67th minute, Zinsberger has effectively managed to catch all the crosses that have been aimed towards the box. Kelly made an attempt by launching a chip, but the goalkeeper successfully gathered the ball despite Shaw's pressure. The Manchester City team must work harder on their delivery to increase their chances of scoring.
After 64 minutes of play, Mead initiated a counter-attack, but unfortunately, her teammates could not match her pace, leading to a slowdown in the game. Despite this, they managed to reach City's penalty area. However, Keating saved Maanum's cross.
After 62 minutes, Manchester City made some changes in their defense by substituting players. Blakstad, who usually plays in midfield, is now playing on the left side of the defense.
After 61 minutes, there were some substitutions made by City. Morgan and Ouahabi were taken off the field, and in their place, Blackstad and Casparij came on.
In one hour of play, Hemp passed a ball towards Shaw for an offensive move. Although Shaw managed to head it, her attempt hit the post and was unsuccessful.
There have been recent updates in the Arsenal team with Mead and Maanum joining the team, while Lacasse and Pelova have left.
In less than an hour of play, Foord runs towards the left side and passes the ball to Little, but she is unable to take the shot. City manages to regain control and eventually gets rid of the ball.
The latter part has been relatively balanced. The match is enjoyable.
In 57 minutes, Kelly delivered a risky pass near the six-yard line. It was too far for Shaw to reach and Hemp messed up completely at the back post, causing City to miss out on a potential goal-scoring opportunity.
After 55 minutes, it appears as though she cannot move her shoulder. This raises suspicions that it may be out of place. Although she does manage to rejoin the game, her movements appear to be hindered.
After 54 minutes, it appears that Shaw has injured her shoulder. Medical staff are present and conducting various examinations. Losing her presence on the field would be unfortunate.
After 53 minutes, Arsenal took advantage of a City mistake and quickly moved the ball towards their opponent's goal. However, when Foord attempted to pass the ball into the box, it was not accurate and went off course. As a result, the defence was able to clear the ball.
Foord makes a sneaky move to take down Shaw from behind, which results in her also getting a warning from the referee. This was an intentional move to prevent a counterattack and caused Shaw to feel discomfort.
After 51 minutes, Shaw managed to dodge the offside trap and make her way into the penalty box. Unfortunately, she was faced with a tough angle and could only manage to shoot the ball into the sidenetting.
She has another opportunity shortly after, but once again, she fails to hit the mark, this time from the border of the box.
Arsenal has come to the conclusion that it is best to kick the ball as far as they can during their goal-kicks. This is a logical decision.
After 49 minutes, there wasn't really any outstanding play in the beginning of the second half.
After 47 minutes of the game, Roord managed to break down the Arsenal defence. Kelly then went for the pass, but veered off course and ended up dragging her shot wide of the far post.
Once more, we commence!
Arsenal Leads 1-0 Against Man City At Halftime!
City started off strong, but have had difficulty keeping up with Arsenal since they scored. Catley made an impressive goal, but Arsenal probably should have scored another when Little missed a penalty shot.
In the 45th minute and second half stoppage time, Little makes his way down the right side, skillfully dodging a couple of opponents. He then sends a cross into the box, but it hits off another player and is caught by Keating.
In the first 45 minutes of the game, Hemp suddenly appeared on the right side and sent a high pass towards Shaw. Shaw tried to jump and hit the ball with her foot, but unfortunately, she was standing too far back and missed the opportunity.
An additional four minutes have been included.
After 43 minutes of play, Arsenal takes a corner and sends the ball into the box. A player flicks it towards the back post causing chaos in City's defense. However, City eventually clears the ball after a moment of hesitation.
In just 40 minutes, BBC has been considerate enough to clarify that Lacasse was already given a yellow card. Hence, Arsenal's Lacasse, Pelova, and Walti received bookings, while City's Keating, Ouahabi, and Hemp were also booked.
After 38 minutes, Roord takes a shot from the edge of the box. Zinsberger makes a good save by pushing the ball away because it changes direction due to a deflection. Kelly gets hold of the ball on the right and sends a lofted pass towards the back post. Hemp heads the ball upwards, hitting the crossbar. Arsenal manages to clear the ball soon after despite the close call.
Zinsberger falls to the ground and requires medical attention.
