Russo spares Arsenal blushes but latest setback increases pressure on Slegers
The Story So Far
The Hammers’ Women’s Super League rivals Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by Aston Villa. Despite controlling nearly 65% of the possession and recording 28 shots, the home side conceded first when Chasity Grant scored for the visitors after 25 minutes. Arsenal struggled to convert their dominance until the 85th minute, when Alessia Russo found the net to level the score. This draw ends a short run of victories for the North London club and adds further pressure on interim coach Slegers following current domestic league results that keep the standings tightly contested for clubs like West Ham United.
