Natalia Arroyo has been named Women's Super League Manager of the Month for April.

The accolade is reward for an unbeaten month which saw Arroyo guide her side to back-to-back wins, scoring eight goals in the process.

A 3-2 victory away to Tottenham Hotspur kick-started the month as the huge three points steered Villa to safety and helped secure top-flight football for a sixth consecutive season.

Arroyo then masterminded an impressive 5-2 win over Arsenal at Villa Park as her side stunned the high-flying Gunners.

Kirsty Hanson narrowly missed out on both the Player of the Month and Goal of the Month awards after an impressive April.

Having stepped off the bench to score against Liverpool in our final game of March, the forward’s form carried over into April as she produced further strikes against Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal - the latter of which came agonisingly close to scooping the accolade for best strike.

Congratulations, Natalia!
