(Reuters) - Norway international Maria Thorisdottir came off the bench to fire home a superb winner five minutes from time as Chelsea came from a goal down to beat champions Arsenal 2-1 in their Women's Super League clash on Sunday.

Danielle van de Donk had given Arsenal the lead in the ninth minute but the high-tempo pressing of the home side created plenty of opportunities, with Guro Reiten hitting a shot off the crossbar before the break.
