🏅 WSL Awards: Heading for history, floodgates open, smashed for six | OneFootball

The WSL was back and back with a bang this weekend! Here are our awards after an important weekend at both ends of the table.

The Right Place, Right Time Award

Who else but Sam Kerr to deny Arsenal a big win at the Emirates Stadium? The Gunners were minutes away from beating title rivals Chelsea but Kerr found a late equaliser.

The goal also saw her equal history, tying ex-Chelsea team-mate Beth England on a record 17 headed WSL goals.

The Floodgates Open Award

Before the break, Leicester had scored two goals in nine WSL games so far this season. On Sunday  they scored three, including this lovely move.

The Great Escape might be on.

The Team Effort Award

And it wasn’t just about the goals, with goalkeeper Janina Leitzig producing this on her debut.

The Goal of the Weekend

Gabby George delivered the weekend’s best strike as Everton won 3-2 against Reading.

The Biggest Statement Award

With Arsenal dropping points, Manchester Untied had the chance to go second and cut the gap to Chelsea to just three points with a game in hand. They didn’t look back as they battered Liverpool 6-0, scoring three before the break and another three after.

This is more than a two-horse race.

The Usual Suspects Award

The weekend started and ended the same way the whole season has gone so far. With goals from Rachel Daly and Bunny Shaw.

Daly struck for an impressive Aston Villa in their win against Spurs, who had Beth England net on her debut.

Less than 36 hours, Shaw responded in the race for the golden boot, scoring the only goal in Manchester City’s 1-0 win over West Ham

Daly and Shaw are now tied on nine WSL strikes this season.
