WATCH RUSSO'S GOAL

<p>Chelsea and Arsenal occupy the top two spots in the WSL table. Chelsea will stay top even with a defeat, but only by having a superior goal difference. Manchester City's win against Aston Villa on Saturday cut the gap between them and the leaders to three points.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Next week Arsenal will take on Tottenham twice in three days, first in the League Cup and then in the WSL. Chelsea will turn their attention to the Champions League when they host BK Hacken at Stamford Bridge.</p>
