Caitlin Foord returned from the Women’s Super League winter break with a goal as Arsenal beat Everton 2-1 on Saturday, while Clare Hunt provided an assist in France.

Foord opened the scoring in the ninth minute for the Gunners, tapping home from close range with a simple finish from Victoria Pelova’s ball across goal.

In a game where Arsenal dominated the chances, Foord actually was relatively quiet in attack, fluffing a first-half volley and curling a 90^th minute opportunity straight at the keeper.

Steph Catley started on the bench with Ireland captain Katie McCabe preferred at left-back, with the Matilda replacing her in the 83^rd minute.

Kyra Cooney-Cross was an unused substitute while Clare Wheeler put in a full shift for the Toffees.

In the WSL on Sunday, Teagan Micah had a rough day at the office, committing a few errors and being lucky to stay on the pitch late after a crude challenge as Liverpool were hammered 5-1 by Mary Fowler’s Manchester City.

Micah, who put in a full shift for Liverpool in goals, did make good low saves in the 13^th minute to deny Chloe Kelly, as well as in the 36^th minute from Laura Coombs’ drilled effort. But Micah’s turnover when trying to play out from the back led to Khalifa Shaw’s goal for 2-1.

Down 4-1 in the 75^th minute, Micah came off her line with Lauren Hemp through on goal and bundled over the City forward with a nasty tackle. City were awarded a penalty while Micah was fortunate to only receive a yellow card, when a red seemed likely.

Alanna Kennedy was absent for City while Fowler was a 60^th minute substitute.

Mackenzie Arnold was back starting in the league for the first time since November but also endured a difficult night as struggling West Ham United went down 4-3 to Tottenham.

Charlotte Grant, who also moved from Vittsjo to England in January, made her WSL debut for Spurs as a 91^st minute substitute.

In the WSL on Friday night, Courtney Nevin started but was replaced in the 86^th minute after a first-half yellow card as Leicester City lost 1-0 at home to Aston Villa. Remy Siemsen was unused.

In France’s Feminine Division 1, Clare Hunt lofted a long ball forward to set up Tabita Chawinga’s goal as PSG routed Bordeaux 8-1.
