Arsenal star Leah Williamson reaches appearances landmark in WSL win over Everton

Leah Williamson made her 200th Arsenal appearance in their 1-0 Women's Super League win over Everton after a triumphant return from injury.

Vivianne Miedema produced a moment of magic with a superb finish on 24 minutes to set the Gunners on a path back to winning ways. But the most poignant moment of the match came when Williamson, who has spent two months out of action with a foot injury, made a hero's return to Meadow Park when substituted on for Jen Beattie.

The defender reached her double-century of appearances for the Gunners by entering the field, a huge positive for manager Jonas Eidevall as his team claimed an important win. Williamson, 25, made her Arsenal debut back in March 2014 when she came on as an 81st-minute substitue for club legend Rachel Yankey in a UEFA Women's Champions League quarter-final defeat by Birmingham City.
