  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Lehmann finally opened her WSL account for the season on Sunday, scoring with a mis-hit volley in a draw for Aston Villa against West Ham. The Switzerland netted just minutes after coming on as a substitute to put the Villans 1-0 up, but West Ham hit back deep into stoppage time to salvage a point at Villa Park.

  Lehmann celebrated the strike afterwards on Instagram with a series of photos, which included Lionesses legend Rachel Daly, and the message: "Villa park feels different, thanks for coming Villans."

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  West Ham's late equaliser secured an important point for the relegation-threatened visitors. The Hammers will now be assured of top-flight status for another season if bottom side Bristol City fail to beat league leaders Manchester City in Sunday's final WSL fixture.
