Steph Houghton strikes

             
She also had to tip a Gilly Flaherty shot over the bar as the visitors continued to create the better openings after the break.Ten minutes later Birmingham went close again, midfielder Jo Potter striking a 20-yard drive against the bar.The Gunners forced a succession of corners but, with Lincoln defending frantically at times, a breakthrough still proved elusive.The result left the Gunners, who lost 4-0 to Liverpool in their opening WSL fixture, second-bottom of the eight-team table.Lincoln had created no clear-cut chances but with just a couple of minutes remaining they went ahead when Roberts tapped home from close range.Everton and Birmingham City, fourth and fifth in the table respectively, battled out a goalless draw. Arsenal looked set for a second successive defeat but they salvaged a point when Houghton smashed home a 20-yard shot in the last minute.
