Alessia Russo inspires struggling Arsenal to rare WSL win

Alessia Russo scored two first-half goals to guide Arsenal to a 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, securing only their third Women's Super League win of the season. Russo scored early and later headed home the winner off a Lisa Baum cross after Liverpool's Beata Olsson had equalized. The result lifted Renee Slegers' side to sixth place in the table.

Elsewhere in the WSL, Manchester United edged Aston Villa 1-0 courtesy of Julia Zigiotti Olme's header. Crystal Palace secured a late 3-2 victory against Charlton through Bethany England's last-minute goal, London City Lionesses defeated Birmingham 4-1, and Tottenham beat Brighton 2-1.
