Iceland 0-1 England: The Lionesses remain top of the group as they target a direct passage to next year’s World Cup in Brazil

England have a long way to go yet before booking flights to Brazil, but Esme Morgan, Lotte Wubben-Moy and Lucia Kendall impressed against Spain Everybody keep calm. England sit top of their qualifying group with a 100% record after beating Spain, but there remains a very long way to go before anyone can start booking flights to Brazil for 2027. Let us cast aside that sensible advice, though, and begin to look at the players who enhanced their prospects of selection because, whether England continue this winning streak or not, their target is to win a first world title and there is no hiding from that challenge. So who has staked a claim? Of those who started at Wembley on Tuesday, eight look nailed on to be in the first-choice XI for the World Cup. That octet of Hannah Hampton, Lucy Bronze, Alex Greenwood, Keira Walsh, Georgia Stanway, Lauren Hemp, Lauren James and Alessia Russo will be central to Sarina Wiegman’s plans for Brazil, together with senior players such as Leah Williamson and Ella Toone when they return after injuries, plus the “clutch moment” saviour that is Chloe Kelly, who was on the bench.

ALESSIA RUSSO pulled off a phenomenal assist to help England to a 1-0 win against Spain. The 27-year-old provided the pinpoint pass for Lauren Hemp within the opening three minutes - after falling over in the box. Russo went to ground as a corner was crossed into the box, surrounded by four Spain players. But...

Lauren Hemp’s early goal proved decisive as England overcame reigning world champions Spain 1-0 at Wembley. Hemp’s record-breaking effort arrived inside three minutes on Tuesday, with Sarina Wiegman’s team holding out for their third win in Women’s World Cup qualifying. England’s goal owed much to the work of Alessia Russo, who improvised from a horizontal […] The post England 1-0 Spain: Hemp makes Wembley history in World Cup qualifying win appeared first on Soccer News.

Marc Skinner laments City’s advantage after Vivianne Miedema shines and Brighton welcome back Kiko Seike With her hat-trick in Arsenal’s 5-2 win over Tottenham, Alessia Russo took her tally to 25 goal contributions in 31 games this campaign. It is a notable return from a player in her prime, not just in her buildup play, but also her finishing. Arsenal’s attacking dominance – they have scored 18 goals in their past five games – is down to the fact that many of their attacking players are in form. Stina Blackstenius has three goals in her past four games while Caitlin Foord also scored on Saturday, her first appearance since returning from the Asian Cup. Renée Slegers has spoken about the versatility in the type of goals her side produces and the need to be ruthless in both penalty areas. Spurs’ two goals meant an end to Arsenal’s 106-day streak of not conceding in the WSL. While all runs must come to an end, Arsenal still boast the meanest defence in the league. Sophie Downey

Arsenal's Alessia Russo has excelled as a number nine and a number 10 this season, but where is she most effective?
