With the Gunners leading 2-1 late on, England captain Williamson stopped a short goal-kick with her hand - believing it had not been taken - only for a penalty being awarded to the hosts, scored by Maeline Mendy. While Arsenal felt hard done to, the guidance on such incidents state that the decision to award a penalty was correct. "If, after the ball is in play, [a player] commits a handball offence, a penalty kick is awarded if the offence occurred inside the kicker's penalty area."
