Alessia Russo scored the only goal to hand Arsenal a 1-0 win over Tottenham in the north London derby in front of another sold out crowd.
The Gunners sold out the Emirates Stadium for a second straight game as 60,050 watched the hosts keep the pressure on in the Women’s Super League title battle.
Russo provided the winning moment four minutes after the break, lashing home from six yards after being set up by England team-mate Beth Mead.
