Russo expresses gratitude for the support from the home crowd following Gunners' narrow victory over local rivals Spurs.

Alessia Russo expressed gratitude to the Arsenal fans for their role in helping Jonas Eidevall's team secure a win against Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium. The English striker scored the only goal in a tightly contested match that ended 1-0, delighting the capacity crowd.

 

The victory brought the Gunners within striking distance of the top spot in the Women's Super League, just three points behind leaders Manchester City. Russo acknowledged the hard-fought nature of the match, especially coming off an international break, and was committed to delivering a performance that would make everyone, particularly at the Emirates, proud.

 

Russo praised the incredible atmosphere and support from the Arsenal faithful, noting the players could feel the energy from start to finish, which proved crucial during challenging moments in the game.

 

Arsenal is gearing up for a busy schedule, with a Conti Cup semi-final against Aston Villa on Wednesday, followed by a pivotal WSL showdown with title rivals Chelsea.

 

Team captain Kim Little emphasized the importance of improving their game ahead of these significant fixtures. Despite clinching the three points, she admitted the team wasn't at its sharpest and highlighted the need to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Little recognized the difficulty they faced breaking down Tottenham's defensive setup but remained optimistic about their ability to rise to the occasion in upcoming crucial matches.
