Arsenal Women’s north London derby POTM, Alessia Russo, is definitely finding her form

Alessia Russo’s performance of late seems to suggest she’s finding her groove. In the last 4 Arsenal games, she’s scored 3. In the lead-up to this campaign, we highlighted Russo as one of the Gunners up for a big 2024-25. In the second half of last season, she found her groove, scoring 16 goals and providing four assists in 25 appearances. The hope was that she was going to pick up where she left off last season.

But unfortunately she didn’t; she had a slow start to the season. It was only two weeks ago that she scored her first league goal, in a clash against Manchester United on WSL match day 6.

Well, since scoring against her former side, she’s only failed to score in one game, which was versus Juventus, but she scored versus Brighton and then versus Spurs, in the WSL, on Saturday afternoon. Well it took her just 1 minute (63 seconds to be exact) to get Arsenal on the score sheet in the North London Derby. With a first-touch, instinctive finish against Spurs, she gave Arsenal the lead. Haters say she needs to score more, and she’s now bagging goals to prove actions speak louder than words. Russo was rightly awarded Arsenal Women’s POTM!
