She was then cruelly denied by the bar a second time as she crashed a vicious shot towards goal from the right, connecting with fellow departee Victoria Pevlovaâs neat cutback.
Having both been restored to the side that triumphed 4-0 against Aston Villa last time out, the stars simply wouldnât align for the Arsenal pair both desperate to end their careers with the Champions League winners on a high.
The only sight of goal for the visitors in the first half came a few minutes prior when Clare Wheeler pounced on a loose pass and attempted a deft chip over Anneke Borbe that found the roof of the net.
Laia Codina, the last of Arsenalâs outgoing trio, thought she had scored on her final home match for the Gunners mere minutes after the restart, but she had guided a header back into the box following a corner from an offside position.
Canadian winger Olivia Smith was soon twisting and turning inside from the left and past Wheeler, yet remarkably found the bar for a third time in the match with her curling effort that seemed destined for the top right corner of the net.
Smith sent in a dangerous low cutback from the byline on the left on the hour mark, but Rossoâs stab towards goal was saved by Brosnan before she left FernĂĄndez on the floor after a collision from trying to punch clear a cross from substitute Chloe Kelly.
Off the bench to try and snatch all three points, Ornella Vignola came close to a winner on the break with three minutes left of the second half when her deflected shot spun just wide of goal, with time for Arsenal to find the net ticking away.
Blackstenius made herself the hero at the death, calmly slotting the ball into the bottom right corner of the net with goalkeeper Brosnan out of the game after contending with Gunners captain Williamson for a looping cross in from the right.
Brosnan, who required treatment for a head injury while the Gunners celebrated a crucial goal in their bid for Champions League football, confronted the officials at full time to demand why a foul wasnât given.
There was also a question of offside against centre-back Lotte Wubben-Moy, who had headed the ball on towards Williams, but the flag did not raise.
Nevertheless, Arsenal took a huge step in returning to Europeâs top club competition next season on an emotional night for their departing trio.
