While tributes poured in for the former Liverpool manager, Katie Reid, Aggie Beever-Jones and Rosa Kafaji all produced moments of excellenceKatie Reid impressed again as she helped Arsenal keep a clean sheet against a Manchester United side that had scored nine times in their opening two league games.
