Alessia Russo late header rescues Arsenal point in 1-1 WSL draw with Aston Villa

Arsenal were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw at home to Aston Villa in the Women's Super League, extending a run of stalemates at the Emirates Stadium. Chastity Grant gave the visitors a first-half lead, but a late header from Alessia Russo salvaged a point for the Gunners. The result leaves Arsenal continuing to drop points in the title race, while Villa earn a creditable away draw. Russo's intervention maintains her importance to the team, but the recurring inability to turn draws into wins is a growing concern for manager Jonas Eidevall. With key fixtures ahead, Arsenal must find a cutting edge to keep pace at the top of the WSL table.
