Wednesday night in the Conti Cup proved to be a significant evening for two of our longest-standing players.

After a long nine months on the sidelines, Leah Williamson returned to the pitch to complete her ACL recovery and captain Kim Little earned her 300th appearance for the club.

"It was the perfect scenario," said Williamson, after the full-time whistle. "I've worked hard. I've kept my head down for a moment like today. I sat on the bench with my teammates who couldn't have been more supportive and then returned to the pitch. The girls gave me a good reception and so did the fans, so it was lovely.
