Emily Fox was instrumental as Arsenal kicked off their campaign with a tidy 1-0 triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion. Operating from her familiar outside back berth, Fox contributed at both ends of the pitch - defending solidly and pushing forward with purpose.
Alyssa Thompson earned a starting spot for Chelsea against Aston Villa, but the Blues had to settle for a 1-1 draw. Chelsea dominated proceedings yet somehow couldn't find a killer second goal. Classic.
Phallon Tullis-Joyce had a forgettable evening between the sticks as Manchester United fell 2-1 to London City Lionesses. Defensive errors left the goalkeeper exposed, and the Lionesses pounced, as reported by Goal.
Good news for Sam Coffey, who returned from a knee injury by coming off the bench in Manchester City's comfortable 3-1 win over Birmingham City. Small steps, big smiles.
Over in France, Lily Yohannes shone for OL Lyonnais in a jaw-dropping 7-1 demolition of Fleury. She's now the club's lone USWNT representative following Lindsey Heaps' departure.
