Arsenal Women continued their fine form under interim head coach Renee Slegers, with Alessia Russo, Frida Maanum and Mariona Caldentey netting in a comprehensive 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Player ratings:

Daphne van Domselaar 7/10

A really good save at the end of the first half. Didn’t have a huge amount to do.

Emily Fox 7/10

Didn’t have a huge amount to do defensively, but when she was called upon she did well and added to the attack.

Leah Williamson 7/10

Dominant at the back. Mostly very calm in possession.

Steph Catley 8/10

Read the danger well. Recycled the ball well but wasn’t hugely tested.

Mariona Caldentey 7/10

Good defensive shift as always but a bit loose in possession at times. Great assist for the goal. Replaced in the 79th minute.

Kim Little  7/10

Calm on the ball as usual. Subbed off at half time.

Katie McCabe 6.5/10

Again, didn’t have a lot to do but a decent performance. Yellow carded in the 72nd minute.

Frida Maanum 6.5/10 

Took her goal well but a bit loose in possession at times

Lia Wälti 8/10

Stitched together the midfield well. Wriggled out of space so easily.

Caitlin Foord 7/10

Always puts her body on the line for the team and today was no different. A few threatening runs, looked busy down the right hand side.

Alessia Russo 9/10

Great finish for the goal in the first minute. Not given loads of space and looked like a big threat. Subbed in the 64th minute.

Kyra Cooney-Cross (Sub, half-time) 7/10 Came on at half time. A vital interception just after. Good energy. Received a yellow card.

Beth Mead (Sub, 64’) 6.5/10

Didn’t get into the game much as most of our play came centrally or on the right when she was on the left or vice versa.

Rosa Kafaji (Sub, 79’) 7/10 Looked to make things happen

Stina Blackstenius (Sub, 64’) 8/10 Came on in the 64th minute and took her goal very well. 

Lotte Wubben-Moy (Sub, 85’)

Subs not used: Manu Zinsberger, Lina Hurtig, Laura Wienroither
