ENGLAND and Arsenal striker Alessia Russo has challenged the Gunners to “get even better” ahead of a crucial run of matches in their quadruple trophy chase.

Arsenal got off to a disappointing start to the season but are now undefeated in 11 straight games across all competitions under interim head coach Renee Slegers, who remains a contender for the permanent position.

Russo herself is enjoying one of the hottest streaks of her career, scoring in all four of her side’s December matches and twice bagging — earning her Women’s Super League Player of the Month honours.
