Russo named WSL Player of the Month for March

Alessia Russo has won the Barclays Women’s Super League Player of the Month award for March.

She scored her first hat-trick for us in our 5-2 north London derby win over Tottenham Hotspur to wrap up a month of three wins from three in the league.

Our forward also provided an assist for Stina Blackstenius in a 2-0 win over London City Lionesses, and scored the second goal of our 5-0 win over West Ham United.

For this award, Russo accrued more votes than Lotte Wubben-Moy, Kerstin Casparij (Manchester City), Kirsty Hanson (Aston Villa), Ceri Holland (Liverpool), Khadija Shaw (Manchester City) and Lynn Wilms (Aston Villa).

This is the fourth time Russo has won the award, and the third time she has done so at Arsenal. She also won our fan-voted Player of the Month poll as well.
