But Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw gave City breathing space in the 74th minute, before a late Mathilde Harviken own goal – created by Player of the Match Lauren Hemp – rounded out the scoring. Ireland head coach Carla Ward watched on at Villa Park as Anna Patten turned in an impressive defensive performance in defeat.

Caitlin Hayes played the full game for the Seagulls, while Emily Murphy was introduced as a second-half substitute. Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur also drew 1-1, the Reds recovering from a Sam Kerr own goal with Aurelie Csillag ensuring a share of the spoils.

Clancy’s corner broke the deadlock in the 13th minute, with Zara Bailey named as the goalscorer in some quarters, but Watford credited their new Irish signing on X: “Aoibheann Clancy swings in a corner that beats everyone and floats into the far corner. ” Noonan headed home to double the Hornets’ lead in the 21st minute, but Forest eventually hit back at The City Ground. Clancy was substituted off in the 40th minute, seemingly an injury concern.
Jess Ziu scored her first competitive goal for Leicester City in a 4-2 win over Durham, with Jessie Stapleton and Heather Payne also featuring for the Foxes. Grace Moloney kept a clean sheet in Southampton’s 0-0 draw with Ipswich Town, while Melisa Filis provided an assist off the bench as Wolves secured their first-ever WSL2 win against Sheffield United.
