Alessia Russo scores twice as Arsenal beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield
Arsenal climb to seventh in the WSL after winning at Anfield, while Liverpool have now gone five league games without a win.
Alessia Russo struck twice in a 2-1 win for Arsenal over Liverpool at Anfield in the WSL. Her first came early in the first half after a good move down the right, and her second arrived in the final minute of the first half, a downward header that Khiara Keating could not reach. According to BBC Sport, the result lifts Renée Slegers' side up to seventh.
Liverpool had equalised through Beata Olsson and saw a Jenna Clark goal ruled out for offside. Arsenal had won only one of their previous seven league games before the trip to Merseyside.
Russo has scored seven goals in her last four appearances. Slegers said she is in top form. Arsenal's next opponent is Barcelona, the European champions.
