Alessia Russo has won the Barclays Women’s Super League Player of the Month award for March.
She scored her first hat-trick for us in our 5-2 north London derby win over Tottenham Hotspur to wrap up a month of three wins from three in the league.
Our forward also provided an assist for Stina Blackstenius in a 2-0 win over London City Lionesses, and scored the second goal of our 5-0 win over West Ham United.
For this award, Russo accrued more votes than Lotte Wubben-Moy, Kerstin Casparij (Manchester City), Kirsty Hanson (Aston Villa), Ceri Holland (Liverpool), Khadija Shaw (Manchester City) and Lynn Wilms (Aston Villa).
