Alessia Russo’s second-half penalty delivered relief, a reprieve and a chance for a reset as Arsenal came from a goal down to earn a precious second win of the WSL season in the north London derby.

At a rain-lashed Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Gunners were again their own worst enemy, forced to come from behind after Cathinka Tandberg’s headed opener, before Georgia Stanway levelled and Russo powered in the penalty that gave them the lead they protected defiantly.
