Arsenal put the travails of their FA Cup defeat to Liverpool behind them with a vital 3-1 victory over Everton in the Women’s Super League. A brace from Alessia Russo and own goal from Maren Mjelde gave the Gunners an important three points in the fight for a Champions League spot.

Renée Slegers’ side are the quintessential puzzle of a football team. One minute, they can be one of the most eye-catching in the league; the next, utterly frustrating in their inability to break down their opposition.
