Arsenal 4-0 Aston Villa - Slegers stakes claim

Arsenal extended their unbeaten run under interim boss Renee Slegers to eight games in all competitions with a 4-0 thrashing of Aston Villa at The Emirates Stadium.

Ahead of the game Slegers said that the Gunners are "doing a really good job to try and find the right manager for the future."

Could she be the answer? She hasn't ruled herself out, and why would she given the way she has rescued Arsenal's season from sliding into full-blown crisis.

Arsenal won just one of their opening four WSL games before Jonas Eidevall resigned in October, but under Slegers they have played like their old selves.

Alessia Russo has benefited in particular; she has scored in four consecutive league games for the first time in her career after starting the season with five blanks.

Not all Arsenal fans would welcome the permanent appointment of Eidevall's former assisstant, given the way that his regime fell apart. But it's hard to argue that Slegers shouldn't remain in her position for the rest of the season at least.
