Alessia&#8217;s latest brace came two-and-a-half years after her first two Arsenal goals, scored against Paris FC in Champions League qualifying in September 2023. <\/p>\n<p>The England international has scored many memorable goals for us, including her first WSL goal for the club, a 94th-minute winner against Aston Villa at Emirates Stadium in October 2023. <\/p>\n<p>Another strike against the Villains was among her greatest as a Gunner so far, as Alessia struck from a seemingly impossible angle at Emirates Stadium, winning our Goal of the Month award for December 2024. <\/p>\n<p>But the goals which stand out most among our forward&#8217;s impressive collection are those scored when we need them most. <\/p>\n<p>Already in less than three years as a Gunner, Alessia has scored the only goal in a north London derby win, struck a decisive late equaliser to earn a point against Chelsea and scored two of three goals as we reversed a 2-0 deficit against Real Madrid on our way to winning the Champions League. <\/p>\n<p>Press play on the video at the top of the article to watch every one of Alessia&#8217;s first 50 Arsenal goals. <\/p>\n<article data-entity-type=\"node\" data-entity-uuid=\"630a4652-46e6-43b6-923f-0fd03f1879f1\" data-embed-button=\"article_embed\" data-entity-embed-display=\"view_mode:node.tiny\" data-langcode=\"en\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"()\" class=\"embedded-entity u-spacing-down--xxl\">\n<article data-article-id=\"121024\" about=\"\/news\/russo-takes-our-supporters-beat-player\">\n<div class=\"article-card article-card--tiny card\" data-eq-pts=\"xsmall: 200, small: 550, medium: 640, large: 768\">\n<div class=\"card__content\">\n<p>\n         <span class=\"h6 article-card__subhead\">Read more<\/span>                             <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-card__title has-icon\" title=\"Russo takes on our supporters in Beat the Player!\"> <i class=\"icon icon--play\"\/> <span class=\"article-card__title-words\">  Russo takes on our supporters in Beat the Player! <\/span><br \/>\n          <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2026 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
