INTERIM head coach Renee Slegers continued to stake her claim to be the next permanent boss of Arsenal Women, following a dominant display in the north London derby that saw her rejuvenated Gunners ease past Spurs 3-0. 

Two early goals by Alessia Russo and Frida Maanum and a second-half strike from Stina Blackstenius were enough to seal a comprehensive victory for Slegers against second-best Spurs on Saturday lunchtime in N17.

Slegers’ visitors dominated from first until last, with Russo putting the Gunners ahead after spinning to smash home past Becky Spencer after only 180 seconds, after Hayley Raso failed to clear.
