MANCHESTER, England - A superb late brace by substitute Stina Blackstenius gave Arsenal a 2-1 win over Manchester City that re-ignited the Women's Super League on Sunday, throwing a lifeline to Chelsea in a title race that had appeared to be done and dusted.

With 21 of their 22 league games played, City top the standings on 52 points, three ahead of Chelsea and five ahead of Arsenal, but the Blues have a game in hand and they obliterated City's goal difference advantage with an 8-0 thrashing of already-relegated Bristol City late on Sunday.
