Stoppage time goals from Katie McCabe and Alessia Russo saw us complete an outstanding comeback to beat Aston Villa 2-1 in the Barclays Women's Super League at Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Maz Pacheco’s first-half header gave the away side the lead but we stayed in the game and turned it on its head with two late goals. McCabe struck the equaliser when she slammed the ball into the roof of the net and Russo secured the three points moments later courtesy of an assist from the returning Beth Mead.
What happened
With 35,829 supporters in attendance, we had the first chance of the game when McCabe struck from long distance, but the shot was too soft to trouble Daphne van Domselaar.
