Russo on target again as double fires under-pressure Arsenal to vital WSL win at Liverpool
Alessia Russo scores twice to give Arsenal a much-needed 2-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield, to move up to seventh place in the WSL.
Key points
- Russo’s double took her impressive recent tally to seven goals in her past four appearances.
- Her two goals gave the under‑pressure Arsenal head coach, Renée Slegers, some brief respite with a much-needed, albeit still rather unconvincing victory.
- They will be relieved to have won after Liverpool posed plenty of problems and the hosts were unhappy about a disallowed goal.
If a good striker can always get their team out of a hole, Alessia Russo is doing her best to drag Arsenal out of a deep chasm of uncertainty.
Her goals were priceless for an Arsenal team who arrived on Merseyside with just one win in their previous seven Women’s Super League games.
