Quickfire Russo hat-trick sees off Spurs as Arsenal stay in WSL title race

Alessia Russo's first-half hat-trick helped Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur 5-2 in the north London derby to keep alive their Women's Super League title hopes.

Renee Slegers' side needed to respond after Man City had breezed to victory in the Manchester derby earlier in the day and they did thanks to Russo's first treble for the club as the Gunners stayed 11 points behind the leaders with two games in hand.
