Alessia Russo saves Arsenal a point against Aston Villa
Russo's header in the 85th minute cancels out Chasity Grant's opener for Aston Villa and piles more pressure on Renée Slegers.
Arsenal salvaged a 1-1 home draw against Aston Villa thanks to Alessia Russo, who flicked a header in at the far post in the 85th minute. Before that, Chasity Grant had put the visitors ahead in the 25th with a low shot into the bottom corner. Despite nearly 65% possession and 28 shots to one, according to The Guardian, the Gunners only found a way through late on.
Villa sat with eleven players behind the ball, and the wins over Tottenham and Benfica have lost much of their value. Next up are a trip to Liverpool, then Barcelona, London City and Lyon.
Renée Slegers is back under scrutiny over some decisions, and the final-third problems that have troubled the side since Joe Montemurro and Jonas Eidevall remain unresolved.
