Khadija Shaw becomes first women to score 100 goals for City while United come from behind against Spurs
Leah Williamson returned to competitive action for the first time in 139 days on Saturday as she made a return from a knee injury late in Arsenal’s 3-1 victory against Everton. 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. It was the 28-year-old’s first match since July’s Euros final against Spain in Basel. Arsenal are managing Williamson’s return carefully but she could feature again against the Belgian side Leuven in the Champions League on Wednesday. TG
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 Rolfö’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. “Massively disappointed,” said Olivia Holdt. “Leading 3-0 and then ending up with a draw is tough.” The frustration of the Danish winger reflects Spurs’ rising ambition.
