The England captain was brought on to replace Steph Catley as an 82nd-minute substitute at Goodison Park, drawing a roaring reception from the 1,200 travelling supporters."
"Tottenham were three goals up against Manchester United and on course for a first win over Mark Skinner's side before a late fightback turned it into a 3-3 draw. Goals from Bethany England, Eveliina Summanen and Martha Thomas had the visitors on track secure history, but Fridolina Rolfo's late double denied Spurs. Martin Ho can take great encouragement form how his team performed, however, with their compact, organised shape and ambition in possession impressing at Leigh Sports Village."
"Khadija Shaw marked her 120th match for Manchester City by scoring her 100th goal for the club and then added three more. The striker was sensational in City's 6-1 victory over Aston Villa at the Joie Stadium and she has become the first women's player to hit the century milestone for City in the professional era. It's a really good feeling, said Shaw. I said from the first day I got here this was a special club, and the players I have around me it's a testament to them and a credit to them. They make me look good."
