Sky Sports Champions League •

Manchester City secured the Women's Super League title after Arsenal's title challenge collapsed with a 1-1 draw at Brighton. Frida Maanum's equalizer canceled out Fuka Tsunoda's first-half goal, leaving the Gunners unable to force a victory that would have kept their slim title hopes alive.

The result means Arsenal will finish the season trophyless, coming days after their Champions League elimination by Lyon. Brighton extended their unbeaten run to 14 matches and strengthened their position in third place, just two points above Manchester United with two games in hand. Renee Slegers' side remains firmly in contention for next season's Champions League.

Arsenal's failure to convert draws into wins ultimately cost them the title, according to analyst Nia Jones. The Gunners now face the prospect of a trophyless campaign despite possessing quality throughout their squad. Six consecutive championships for Chelsea came to an end as City celebrated their consistency throughout the season.
