Man Utd women's player ratings vs Arsenal: Phallon Tullis-Joyce shuts out the Gunners! Ten-player Red Devils survive Jayde Riviere red card as USWNT goalkeeper earns valuable WSL point | Goal.com Malaysia
Goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce was the hero as 10-player Manchester United clung on to steal a 0-0 draw away at Arsenal in the first WSL game of the new year. The visitors were reduced to 10 midway through the second half when Jayde Riviere was sent off, but held firm to keep a clean sheet and ensure the Gunners do not pull further away from them at the top of the table.
GettyGoalkeeper & Defence
Phallon Tullis-Joyce (9/10):
Was a dominant presence in her penalty area and came up with a series of strong stops to keep the Gunners at bay.
Jayde Riviere (3/10):
The right-back earned herself a yellow card early in the second half and made a thoughtless lunge to pick up a second caution and a sending off. A moment of madness for the 24-year-old who almost cost her side.
Maya Le Tissier (7/10):
The Manchester United skipper stood up to the test and led her defence well, especially when reduced to 10 players.
Dominique Janssen (8/10):
The former Arsenal player was the standout performer in the United backline, cutting out a number of crosses and giving Russo little change up front.
Anna Sandberg (6/10):
Sandberg was good up and down the left flank and kept Beth Mead quiet.

Hinata Miyazawa (7/10):
A reliable figure at the heart of the Red Devils' midfield, Miyazawa rarely set a pass astray and helped relieve pressure on her team.
Julia Zigiotti Olme (6/10):
Similarly tidy to Miyazawa, the Sweden international played in a double pivot and allowed Park the freedom to roam.
Jessica Park (6/10):
A bright spark and did her best to drive the visitors up the pitch, but struggled to showcase her talent with the Gunners so dominant in possession.

Fridolina Rolfo (6/10):
Came close with a great header, but was denied by a better save from Borbe. The former Barcelona star was taken off in a quiet second half.
Elisabeth Terland (5/10):
Terland was a passenger for much of the hour she was on the pitch and replaced by Lea Schuller.
Melvine Malard (6/10):
The French forward worked hard for the away side, but did little in attack.
Getty Images SportSubs & Manager
Lea Schuller (5/10):
The new signing from Bayern Munich made her debut for the club, but was isolated up front with United trying to hang on for a point.
Simi Awujo (N/A):
The midfielder was brought on after an hour, but subbed off 10 minutes later after Riviere was given her marching orders.
Hanna Lundkvist (6/10):
Brought on to add an extra defender for the final 20 minutes and plug the gap left by the Canadian right-back.
Lisa Naalsund (N/A):
Came on late in the game.
Marc Skinner (7/10):
Set up to soak up pressure and hit the Gunners on the break, the United boss will be happy with a point at the Emirates – particularly with 10 players.
