Russo's role for Arsenal analysedRenee Slegers has a problem: Alessia Russo is too good. In the last week alone Arsenal have scored 13 times; five netted by Russo. Comparing Russo's role in victory over West Ham with her function against Spurs at the weekend - Arsenal scored five in both - offers interesting insight. Contrast that with the hat-trick she scored against Spurs, where Arsenal played longer, exploiting the visitors' unusually high line. It even has the potential to define Arsenal's season.
