The tactics behind Nobbs’ stunning goal

Jordan Nobbs delivered a masterclass in midfield on Sunday, as we ran out comfortable 2-0 winners over Birmingham City at Meadow Park.

Not only did the England international work tirelessly throughout, but she also capped off her standout display with an outrageous dinked finish from just inside the area.

“We wanted Viv to come inside and for me to run in behind, and that’s a big part of my game,” said our No 8. “I get a lot of joy out of doing that and I’ve always liked to get higher up the pitch.

“It was a great ball from Leah Williamson and I’m glad to get a goal at the start of the year, but I think we have an incredible front line up top, who can all play in different positions and make different movements.
