When you are in a sticky patch of league form and looking for inspiration, there are few better players to provide it than Vivianne Miedema. The Women’s Super League’s all-time leading goalscorer delivered a timely reminder of her prowess with a stunning long-range strike that helped Manchester City win a six-goal thriller away at Aston Villa.
City had lost three of their past four WSL games, which was at odds with their previous form of just one defeat and 21 victories in 23 WSL games, and Aston Villa’s interim manager Shaun Goater said: “I know in the past couple of games, they’ve looked off it – I just had this feeling they wouldn’t be off it against us, not to that degree.”
