VIDEO: Alessia Russo loves a goal Down Under! Lionesses' World Cup hero scores excellent header for Arsenal in post-season clash with A-League All Stars

Arsenal beat the A-League Women's All Stars 1-0 on Friday in a post-season friendly. Despite a dominant display, they struggled to break down the All-Stars defence until Russo scored a superb header. The Lioness scored in both the quarter-finals and the semi-finals of the Women's World Cup, which was also held in Australia.

Russo made 22 appearances in the WSL last season, scoring 12 goals and registering four assists. She also scored twice in the Women's Champions League, and quickly emerged as a key player for the Gunners following her move from Manchester United last summer.

Arsenal's season is now over. Russo will next be in action on May 31 when the Lionesses play France in a qualifier for Euro 2025. Sarina Wiegman will be hoping the she is fresh enough to be impactful, having been asked to complete a draining post-season trip with her club.
