Russo rescues Arsenal at the death but Slegers faces fresh scrutiny

O cabeceio de Alessia Russo aos 85 minutos salvou um ponto para o Arsenal, mas o empate em 1 a 1 com o Aston Villa, em casa, pouco fez para silenciar o debate em torno de Renée Slegers.

O Arsenal controlou quase tudo, menos o placar. Teve quase 65% de posse, disparou 28 finalizações contra uma do Villa e registrou 56 toques na área adversária contra quatro, e ainda assim precisou de um gol no fim para evitar a derrota.

O Villa havia aberto o placar aos 25 minutos. Lynn Wilms encontrou Chasity Grant, que acertou um chute rasteiro no canto inferior, e a partir dali as visitantes se fecharam com 11 jogadoras atrás da bola.

O empate de Russo veio de um cruzamento de Stina Blackstenius, desviado na segunda trave, e desfez boa parte do crédito que o Arsenal havia construído com vitórias seguidas sobre Tottenham e Benfica.

A tabela de jogos oferece pouco alívio: vem o Liverpool fora de casa, depois Barcelona, London City e Lyonnes. E os problemas no terço final, presentes em todas as atuações, não desapareceram com essas duas vitórias.

Slegers vai carregar o escrutínio, e algumas das decisões dela merecem análise. Mas problemas parecidos eram visíveis sob Joe Montemurro e Jonas Eidevall, seus antecessores, e é por isso que a questão talvez não seja só sobre a treinadora.

Lauren James, por sua vez, saiu lesionada antes do intervalo na vitória do Chelsea por 6 a 0.
