And on this occasion, we’re rolling the clock back to last season where Caroline Weir’s piece of genius handed us bragging rights at the Academy Stadium.
After a tight encounter with 10 minutes to go, the Scotland international broke the deadlock with a sublime chip from the edge of the box that left Mary Earps stranded.
The victory aided our push towards the UEFA Women’s Champions League qualification places by the end of the season, while Weir’s effort was nominated for the 2022 Puskas Award – her second in as many years.
See the breathtaking goal and take a look at the best of the action above!
