Match report: Arsenal 2-3 Manchester United
WSL: Alessia Russo’s injury-time header helped Manchester United recover from a second-half collapse to end Arsenal’s perfect start to the season and draw level at the top after a thrilling 3-2 win at the Emirates Stadium, writes Suzanne Wrack.
Alessia Russo speaks: “The whole second half was a whirlwind,” the United striker tells Sky. “We come to these games and want to test ourselves and come away with three points so we’re really happy. Katie Zelem and I have a good connection on set pieces. I know where she’s looking to hit and I just tried to get my body in front of the ball. I just used a bit of strength and aimed for the target.
On a seismic result for United: “The result reflects that belief, the moment we’d conceded we came in as a group and we had an honest conversation,” she says. “We knew we wanted to win it and we knew we could so it’s just about finding that bit of extra motivation.”
