We all love a super-sub and Alessia Russo is officially England’s best ever, according to statistics from AceOdds. The betting calculator site have assembled a list of England’s most prolific subs from over the years and the evidence points resoundingly in Russo’s favour.
Russo has been on fire at Euro 2022 so far and has scored four times in five games. Each of these goals has come from the bench, including one against Norway, two against Northern Ireland and one against Sweden.
Her audacious backheel finish against Sweden went viral and is no doubt one of the most ‘humiliating’ goals you’ll ever wish to see.
The 23-year-old is still yet to start a game in this year’s competition, but on current form, Sarina Wiegman must be considering giving the nod to the in-form Manchester United striker.
