Izzy Atkinson scores winner for West Ham, her first goal for the club

Liverpool's Niamh Fahey and Jasmine Matthews complain to referee Abigail Byrne about Brighton's penalty decision during the FA Women's Super League match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Liverpool.

The 21-year-old Dubliner might, though, have earned herself more English Super League minutes after her 88th-minute intervention on Sunday when she came off the bench to score the winner for West Ham against Leicester, her first goal for the club. A neatly taken goal it was too, Atkinson’s quick feet taking her past two defenders before her shot found the bottom right corner of the goal. She was the only one of eight Irish players in Super League action over the weekend to end up on the winning side, the game between Brighton and Liverpool, which featured four of the national squad, ending 3-3.

That fixture saw the return to action of Megan Connolly, a half-time sub, the midfielder having sustained fractured ribs and a bruised kidney against Finland in September. Megan Walsh was in goal for Brighton, while Niamh Fahey and Megan Campbell lined out for Liverpool, both taken off during the game.
