Alessia Russo scored twice at Anfield as Arsenal defeated Liverpool 2-1 in the Women's Super League, known as the WSL, The Guardian reported in a match report by Tom Garry. The result gave Arsenal head coach Renée Slegers, who was under pressure before the match, some brief respite, according to the paper.
The Guardian said the win did not settle concerns about the team's performance, calling it "another unconvincing display" from the north London club despite the much-needed victory. The paper also reported that Russo's double took her recent tally to seven goals in her past four appearances and 10 goals in her past seven games for club and country. The summary of the report was cut off before it described Liverpool's play in detail.
BBC News reported that Russo scored twice to give Arsenal a much-needed 2-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield. According to the BBC, the victory moved Arsenal up to seventh place in the WSL table.
