England captain Leah Williamson made a significant return to the field after her ACL injury, entering as a substitute in Arsenal's 3-1 victory over Everton in the Women's Super League. Her comeback follows her last appearance during the European Championship win in July 2022.
This victory extends Arsenal's unbeaten run to six consecutive league games, positioning them second in the WSL standings, just behind Manchester City, who remain five points ahead. Arsenal is currently rooted firmly in the championship race, with competition stiffening as Chelsea trails closely behind.
On the field, Arsenal's Katie McCabe opened the scoring, while Everton's Honoka Hayashi quickly equalized. However, Alessia Russo's timely response and Olivia Smith's late goal cemented Arsenal's triumph, boosting their title pursuit.
