That was deserved I thought.
WSL 22/23 | Arsenal v United - Sat 19 Nov at 5:30pm
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
That was a fun game! Russo is a fecking tank! Best nr 9 at the club!
That’s football heritage
Great game, great win
Spicy at the top of the table isn’t it. Reckon we might break that top three.
Great first half - crap 2nd half until the late rally which I really didn't expect
Outstanding win - is it too much to say this is the biggest win in MUWomen history?

We play city next month and that will be a huge game. If we can beat them I think we will.
Skinner blowing kisses all night long 
Love the emotion of this team.
Love the emotion of this team.If we keep key players fit then we are definitely in the driving seat ahead of City I’d say, but I can’t lie that depth does worry me.
We really need to get Russo and Battle’s contracts sorted ASAP
That was a nice game to watch with a positive result. Russo was fantastic all game with her running and holdup play. Reminds me how much we need a centre forward in the men's team.
Amazing mentality to come back after the nature of the equalizer at the start of the second half, well deserved despite being shell-shocked for quite a bit of the second half!
Enjoyable game. Good performances all round, but I love watching Toone and Russo in particular.
Edited to add: for anyone interested, this game was shown live on Canadian sports channel Sportsnet, so it was nice to finally watch a game on my TV. But it also shows how established the women's game is now, that a large network across the Atlantic chose to air it.

Amazing win away to Arsenal. Could be huge mentally to dislodge the status quo.
Russo's contract is running out and seems she's not signing an extension.
I actually got a good impression in the post match interviews, with her talking about loving the fans home and away, saying how much she’s enjoying her football and then Skinner saying how important she is.
Obviously could just be empty words but it’s left me feeling as positive as I have in a while about the chances of keeping her
Great ending, well deserved!
I really do like the neon and black kit…is it just me?

Let's hope you're right. The manager was asked the question if Russo will be staying. He simply answered, "I hope so".
It’s very possible I’m just hearing what I want to hear. We desperately need her to stay, hopefully Polly has made it one of her top priorities.
Get in there
Just came home from the match. Could only get a ticket in the posh Arsenal end(The Emirates is a insanely good stadium in term of quality)
But anyways United were a level above. Their overall style of play and the ability to control the tempo was too much for Arsenal.
Great performance.

She's so good Russo. In those inexplicable 9 plus mins the ref gave at the end she was still full of running, taking it to the corner flag
What a result and just might be that turning point against the top 3 for us,depends on how we get on in next top 3 clash at City in December.
Nice to see. Women's football is is definitely becoming more popular here too. I live in Arsenal and there were loads of people in my local pub watching the game.
Just back from the game and what an experience for my first WSL United match.
Girls deserved more than a 1-0 lead at HT and the response from them after going 2-1 down was brilliant and at 2-2 I loved the fact they went looking for that winner.
£12 match ticket, some petrol, 40,000 fans and great entertainment.
Great value for money and brilliant to get the three points.
Russo was almost unplayable at times as the 9 and Paris had a stormer back at the emirates.

I do think that we think we can beat city and arsenal because we have done it before. Whereas with Chelsea we just lose faith.
Coming back like we did today is so good for the future.
Great result, and it sounds like a good performance as well. I'm hopeful that this result will give the players the confidence to actually 'perform' against the top three, which I've felt they haven't really done in the league.
We should have got something in the Chelsea game. We matched them in the first half and then just folded in the second. Just a draw would have had us top and unbeaten at this stage.
Where's she gonna go though? She ain't gonna go Arsenal as they have Miedema, Blakstenius and Mead and she ain't gonna go Chelsea as they have James, Kerr and Kirby. Only option is City or abroad and it wouldn't make sense going to City.
Like the poster above has said Chelsea is still a big hurdle to overcome,also confident as we might be about beating City we still haven't done it yet.
Nikita was partly at fault for equaliser when she ran into trouble,mind you we didn't help ourselves backing off the shot
What a great game! Tight, hard fought, Wenger wouldn’t have much love for this muscle dominated Gunners team, but they seemed to have out-lucked our girls. But what a finish! Four chances gave two goals in the run in, not a shock that Zelem’s set piece accuracy turned out to be crucial.
Ladd and Zelem where very good for me, Turner and Le Tissier in front of Earps makes for a good lock, and I was impressed by Parris hard work both ways. What a smashing three points!
That kind of confidence and resilience against the top teams is often the last climb in raising to the level of the top teams. Turning 1-2 into 3-2 in five minutes in front of 40 000 at Arsenal, will be invaliable experience in that regard!
She could easily still go to Arsenal or Chelsea, and that’s just in this country. Open it up to abroad (maybe back to the US? Unfinished business) or just one of the European big boys and there’s lots of options for a player as good as Russo.
The longer this season goes on and we’re playing well with her performing especially the more chance we have of keeping her, but she’s not going to be short of offers if we don’t give her the kind of contract she deserves. She has all the makings of an absolute megastar.
If she was to go to Arsenal, I'd swap her for Blakstenius. She's perfectly suited to the way we play.
Just saw the post match interview with Toone and Turner. Turner's a bit of a nutter is isn't she? Couldn't contain herself 
It seems to have really taken off in most continents.
Yeah definitely fear losing her if we don’t get that third Champions League spot

Where can I see that
On the club website. Tried to copy the link to the actual vid but it's not letting me - just copies the main site.

Easy to find though "Toone X Turner: a brilliant post match interview!"
