Alessia Russo has won the Barclays Women’s Super League Goal of the Month award for December.
Her second goal of our 4-0 win at home to Aston Villa was nominated, as Alessia rocketed a shot into the top-left corner.
The strike also topped our Emirates Goal of the Month poll and Alessia was named our women’s Player of the Month for December, by both the club and the WSL.
Russo has now scored 11 times in all competitions this season, with six of those goals coming in the league.
The players she beat to the award were Leah Galton, Sara Holmgaard, Mary Fowler, Jelena Cankovic, Anouk Denton, Wieke Kaptein and Marisa Olislagers.
