Zero goals for the Arsenal women’s team

In addition to the many Premier League rivals who stumbled, one of United’s female rivals also had bad luck.

Arsenal played 0-0 away to West Ham, and after United’s 0-0 game against Everton the previous Sunday, it was great for Marc Skinner & co.

That is, Arsenal are still three points behind. The Gunners have played one game fewer, but also have a worse goal difference (+20) than United (+25). With the same scoreline as Arsenal, but with a worse goal difference (+14), is Manchester City. They have played the same number of games as United.

Next weekend, Manchester City play at home to – that’s right – Arsenal.

United at the back for City

Newcastle-West Ham 1-1
Everton-Arsenal 1-0
Chelsea-Fulham 0-0
Wolverhampton-Liverpool 3-0
Tottenham-Manchester City 1-0

While Manchester United did their job and won against Crystal Palace, United’s five challengers in the race for the top four have conceded points this weekend.

United are thus in third place – eight points behind Arsenal (United have played one more game) and only three points behind Manchester City.

Newcastle are in fourth position, two points behind.

Russo was honored with an honorary doctorate

Alessia Russo this week received an honorary doctorate in Christ Church University of Canterbury in recognition of sporting achievement and its role in raising awareness of women’s sport in the UK and around the world.

In his acceptance speech, Russo encouraged everyone to follow their dreams.

– Even though I’m young, I’m trying to find a path in my career, I want to encourage all of you to leave a legacy no matter what career you choose.

– In football, we say to leave the shirt better than the first time you put it on. I wore number 23 for Manchester United and wore it during the European Championship. It is a special number for me because one of my sporting idols, Michael Jordan, wore it throughout his long career.

Presenting dr @AlessiaRusso7 🎓

The United family is so proud of you ❤️#MUWomen

The former Burnley manager has signed a contract until the 2024/25 season.
