Everton

More from Everton interim boss Scott Phelan speaking to Sky Sports about his side's resolute defensive display: "We knew that we have to do certain things well in these bigger games, and we did that, that's why it hurts so much. If Arsenal had scored an outstanding goal, which they can do, then fair play. But for them to score in the way they did makes it extra tough.

"We can't distract from the level of performance that the girls put in. We asked for a response from Chelsea when simple things we ask for weren't there. The scoreline reflected that but tonight was a different feeling."

On having one more game left in front of the fans: "Some of them travelled here tonight, for a rearranged midweek game, to come and support us which is unbelievable. We need to make sure they feel our appreciation, I wish we could have rewarded them with a point, not zero."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Renee Slegers to Sky Sports on winning late: "A little bit of both [joy and relief]. I just wanted it so much today and it was hard. We couldn't find the goal early in the game but the way we stayed patient and how we found a way in injury time says everything about our mentality. For all the players leaving us, who wanted to have a good last game at the Emirates...I was extremely happy for them."

On Mead's relationship with the fans: "If you see the connection they have created, football means so much to society and what it brings - in recognition, sharing moments and everything Beth has done for the club together with the fans will be forever with her and it was beautiful to see."

On setting a club record WSL home games unbeaten: "Very proud. That's great and we feel at home here with the fans. We have so many fans supporting us. This is our home - it's the best place to play football. You can see that from the record. But at the same time, we need to work even harder next year to get the trophies we want."

I thought it was a really diligent, disciplined performance from Everton. Defensively, they were excellent across the pitch.

But I would have liked to see them take more opportunities to get into Arsenal's half. You probably need to create a bit more.

Stina Blackstenius scored a controversial winner in stoppage time as Arsenal moved up to second in the Women's Super League with victory over Everton.

After struggling to break through Everton's defence in normal time, substitute Blackstenius struck in the 93rd minute to send Arsenal fans into a frenzy.

But Everton were livid, believing Lotte Wubben-Moy was offside and that goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan was fouled by Leah Williamson in the build-up.

Brosnan stayed down and received treatment following the goal and she appeared to be in tears as the full-time whistle blew.

It was an agonising end for the visitors, who offered little going forward but stood firm defensively, fending off 16 shots from Renee Slegers' side.

Following Monday's announcement that Beth Mead will depart at the end of the season after a nine-year spell and 264 appearances at the club, the 31-year-old hit the crossbar twice in the first half but could not bow out at the Emirates with a goal.

Laia Codina, who will also leave the club after three years, thought she had opened the scoring after the break when she poked in, but her celebrations were cut short by the offside flag.

Everton

Everton interim boss Scott Phelan speaking to Sky Sports: "Really, really tough to take for the girls because when we come to these places, especially given the run we have had with Tottenham away, Manchester United away, Chelsea at home, Arsenal away is tough. The level of commitment and application for the majority of those games has been where we expect it to be and it was no different today.

"To concede a late goal in the manner that we did. Some of the officiating was questionable to say the least. We've watched it back a couple of times and it's poor, and the girls deserve more than that. So I'm disappointed for them.

"We have the benefit of the video replay to the bench, we can see it instantly. It's not just the corner that they scored from but the first corner there is a clear foul across Courtney's [Brosnan] face, you can see the red mark. Then the second corner comes in and the first contact is offside, and there's arguably another foul on Courtney.

"It happens. We're in danger of sounding like sour grapes but it does add to the frustration."

Arsenal

Beth Mead, speaking to the Arsenal fans, said: "I've been here for a long time, so many amazing people. I've had the huge honour of playing for this amazing club for such a long time. I'm going to miss you guys so, so much.

"I've had some of my most amazing memories and also the toughest moments in my life. I lost my mum while I was here and I would never have got through that without these amazing people.

"I don't think a thank you will enough. You guys are the best fans in the world. We love you, I love you, thank you so, so much."

Arsenal's Beth Mead is in tears as she gives a goodbye message to the Gunners fans.

Arsenal

More from Beth Mead, speaking to Sky Sports: "I don’t think words can sum it up - it has been an amazing journey. To get the response off the pitch from fans and my team-mates will live with me forever. A lot of goosebumps through my body and I’ve been very proud to represent this club.

"Maybe I should have put a couple in the net. I think I’ll call myself ‘Post Woman’ tonight [after hitting the bar twice].

"I am honoured and proud to have represented Arsenal for so many years in front of amazing crowds week in week out. It’s a proud moment but bittersweet I guess it being the last one."

On her favourite memories: "There are lots of highlights: Champions League, winning the title, meeting such amazing people and having a family for life. There are many things I can list but we’ve not got all night!"

On finishing off the season properly: "It is still business, three points needed to finish second. I get the chance to play at an amazing stadium like Anfield so it’s a good one to finish with."

Everton

Everton defender Martina Fernandez speaking to Sky Sports: "Quite disappointed for the result but we had a really good performance defensively. I'm super proud of my team.

"We always have [the idea that] this badge means to defend everything, defend with structure. We know we don't have as much of the ball, so that was the plan, and we executed perfectly.

"We look forward to that, more after the result of today. We play at Goodison our home and we want to finish the season as high as we can, performance and in the table, so we look forward to it. The fans are like our 12th player on the pitch, we are super grateful to have them and what a way to finish the season, with them."

On her partnership with Ruby Mace: "She is so great. She's an unbelievable player. She also deserves the player of the year if you want to vote. She deserves it. She is great at communication. Outside of the pitch she is a lovely girl so I'm so happy to have her."

The lights have been turned down at the Emirates, with a guard of honour for those players that are leaving the club.

Arsenal

Arsenal forward Beth Mead speaking to the world feed: "A lot of emotions. Pride sadness, happiness because it has all happened. It will take a while to settle in."

On the ovation she received: "A very special feeling. I got goosebumps walking off and got a little bit emotional. I've played in front of these fans for a long time so it was nice to get the reception I got and to be able to play here one more time."

On her chances: "You get yourself into positions and try to do your best to get it into the back of the net but it wasn't meant to be tonight."

On the late winner: "We've struggled to do that sometimes this season. We've dominated games, had chances and sometimes not taken them. This is how you have to win sometimes. Teams have been able to do it ahead of us, Man City have done it a lot this season. It was just nice to see it go in the back of the net, Stina took it very well.

"It's a quick turnaround. We've been doing that a lot recently. Looking forward to the last game of the season. Big game, still important, we need the three points to finish second and we get to play at Anfield which is quite cool."

It's clearly wrong. They aren't difficult decisions. It is really rare that you see collisions, so often keepers are well protected, that was as clear as you'll see.

That said it was a lovely finish from Blackstenius. A difficult one to take leaning back, she curled it into the far corner.

It's an awful decision. Everton have been completely robbed. They worked so hard to get that result and in the end they fell short. It's two awful decisions, first the offside (on Lotte Wubben-Moy) and then the foul on Brosnan, I don't know how they haven't seen it.

Arsenal move above Chelsea and into second. With a much better goal difference, the Gunners will only need to draw at Liverpool to get second, with Chelsea at home to Manchester United.

Whoever comes second will be straight into the league phase of the Women's Champions League, while the team that finishes third would face a two-legged play-off in the final qualifying round to join them.

Substitute Stina Blackstenius is the match winner with her goal coming in the 93rd minute.

Everton goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan is unhappy the goal was able to stand, saying she was fouled by Leah Williamson, just before Blackstenius fired in.

Brosnan is putting her case forward to the referee, but it's Arsenal that get the three points.
