Alessia Russo reflected on another disappointing draw for Arsenal against Paris FC.
The forward linked up neatly with Georgia Stanway to score the first goal of the game, and the Gunners were heading towards a triumph when Stanway stuck away an Emily Fox delivery.
'It's about managing the game a little bit better'
But the visitors would suffer another setback. They were broken open on the counterattack by Clara Mateo in the 72nd minute. And a controversial penalty, awarded for the handling of the ball by Leah Williamson from a goal kick setup, saw Maeline Mendy grab the equaliser from the penalty spot.
"We lost control of the second half a little way before [the penalty] anyway. It's about managing the game a little bit better. I also think the first half, and throughout the game, we had some really, really good spells, so now it's about using that to push forward.
"I always want to try and score and create, and yeah, it was about finding the half the yard to get a shot off tonight, so I'm happy to do that. I think maybe [it's] an area we've been not confident in, in the last few games, but I see it every day in training, the quality that we have.
"I didn't think it was going to take us long, I think that it was nice to see that, but also just credit to all of us, the staff. We've been working really hard behind the scenes, really pushing, and we'll continue to do that.
Russo praises the travelling support
“[The fans] were brilliant. I think there was over 200 of them here, so incredible. We can never fault them every single game, home, away, Europe, anywhere in the world, they're with us. They're brilliant and hopefully we can give them more this season."
