London City Lionesses claim their first victory in the WSL thanks to Isobel Goodwin
After two big losses, London City Lionesses can finally celebrate their first win in the WSL. Isobel Goodwin scored twice to seal the victory.
- London City Lionesses earned their first ever WSL win, beating Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park, thanks to two goals from Isobel Goodwin.
- Goodwin opened the scoring in the 13th minute, smashing into the roof of the net after a corner. She doubled the lead just before the hour, finishing a cut-back from Nikita Parris.
- Everton pulled one back when Jana Fernandez fouled substitute Yuka Momiki in the box; Momiki converted the penalty in the 71st minute. Despite late pressure, Everton could not equalise.
- The result lifted London City to eighth place in the WSL table, while Everton sit sixth after consecutive defeats.
- Everton’s season started brightly with a 4-1 derby win over Liverpool, but momentum has stalled with back-to-back league losses.
- Goodison Park, announced as Everton’s permanent home this season, has seen two straight defeats to open its new era. The loss also ended Everton’s 10-game unbeaten run against newly promoted side
- Next fixtures: London City visit Manchester City at the Joie Stadium next weekend, buoyed by their first top-flight win. Everton face three consecutive away games before returning to Goodison Park to play Manchester United next month.
