Daphne van Domselaar’s stunning stop against Brighton & Hove Albion has been nominated for October’s Barclays Women’s Super League Save of the Month award.
We were protecting a 1-0 lead after Marisa Olislagers’ 14th-minute own goal, and we had our goalkeeper to thank for keeping the clean sheet intact with half an hour to go.
The Seagulls delivered a cross from the right for Carla Camacho to fire towards goal, but Van Domselaaar reacted well, stretching to her right with a leap that allowed her to parry the ball past the post.
That vital moment helped us get back to winning ways in the WSL, sending us to Benfica with a spring in our step for that UEFA Women’s Champions League victory.
