  • Last minute equaliser earn the Hammers a point | Match Report

    West Ham draw 1-1 with Manchester City with late goal drama Back Match Report Last minute equaliser earn the Hammers a point West Ham draw 1-1 with Manchester City with late goal drama Girls on the Ball 6 March 2025 By Paul Donegan West Ham United and Manchester City shared the points when they drew 1-1 in the Women’s Super League on Wednesday evening. Bunny Shaw gave the Citizens the lead ten minutes from the end of the match before Manuela Pavi scored a stoppage time equaliser for the Hammers. At the Chigwell Construction Stadium, the visitors had the first opportunities of the match with Kerolin’s cross being too high for Lily Murphy before the Brazilian had the first shot at goal but this was easily claimed by Kinga Szemik. At the other end, Riko Ueki couldn’t get her head on a cross. Ayaka Yamashita got down well to stop a low cross from Shekiera Martinez before Katrina Gorry saw a shot deflected over by Gracie Prior. Verena Hanshaw then shot over from the one of the resulting corners as both sides had early attacks. Kerolin’s crosses from the right-hand side were looking dangerous for Manchester City with another low one going across goal. Another cross from the right side led to shots from Jill Roord and Jess Park being blocked by Shelina Zadorsky in the Hammers defence in the 15th minute. In the 20th minute, Seraina Piubel’s hanging cross for the hosts was put behind for a corner. Anouk Denton then headed over in the 27th minute. The visitors had the next opportunity but Laura Wienroither’s cross was comfortably stopped by Szemik. Murphy got on the end of a through ball for City but her dipping shot from just outside the area was caught by the West Ham goalkeeper. In the 39th minute, the Hammers had the best chance of the match so far when Piubel was played in but her shot from 20-yards was pushed behind by Yamashita for a corner. Three minutes later, the hosts had another good opportunity but the Citizens goalkeeper this time kept out Ueki’s header. Murphy was looking threatening for the away side on the left side with her curling shot going just wide as half time approached. West Ham had the final chance of the first half with the final kick of it when Ueki’s effort from 6-yards was saved. Manchester City did well to defend an early second half attack from the home side. The first attempt at goal in the second half didn’t come until the 58th minute but Szemik easily dealt with Park’s header for the Citizens. In the 61st minute, Roord broke into the area for City with her cross finding Murphy whose low shot was saved. A bit of frantic play in the visitors penalty area finished with Denton’s shot being stopped by Yamashita. Shaw was brought on as a substitute for the Citizens in the 66th minute, and immediately saw her low cross blocked before Roord had a shot saved. Minutes late, Shaw tried an acrobatic overhead kick but this too was stopped by the goalkeeper. City went close to taking the lead in the 72nd minute when Wienroither smashed an effort against the crossbar from 6-yards following a corner. The game had changed in the visitors favour since Shaw had come on, and she headed just the wrong side of the post. Roord fired straight at the goalkeeper just before she was replaced by Vivianne Miedema. Manchester City took the lead in the 80th minute when Shaw finished from close-range to score her 12th league goal of the season after Miedema had got a slight touch on Mary Fowler’s cross to her. Just after four additional minutes had been signalled, Pavi got onto Ueki’s backheel, cut into the area and curled a shot into the net to equalise for West Ham. The draw leaves Manchester City in fourth place in the WSL, a point behind Arsenal having played a game more. West Ham remain in ninth position, nine points above the relegation spot. Line ups West Ham United (3-4-2-1): Szemik, Nystrom (Saez 73’), Tysaik, Zadorsky (Ademiluyi 56’), Denton, Siren, Gorry (c) (Brynjarsdottir 79’), Hanshaw, Piubel, Ueki, Martinez (Pavi 46’) Unused substitutes: Walsh, Smith, Bergman Lundin, Harries, Mengwen Goal – Pavi 90’+1 Manchester City (4-1-4-1): Yamashita, Wienroither, Prior, Aleixandri (c), Casparij (Ouahabi 46’), Hasegawa, Kerolin (Coombs 72’), Park, Roord (Miedema 77’), Murphy (Shaw 66’), Fowler Unused substitutes: Annets, Keating, Layzell, Oyama, Davies Goal – Shaw 80’ Referee – Grace Lowe

  • London City Lionesses and Newcastle United off the mark | Match Report

    All square at Hayes Lane as the London City Lionesses draw 1-1 with Newcastle Back Match Report London City Lionesses and Newcastle United off the mark All square at Hayes Lane as the London City Lionesses draw 1-1 with Newcastle Wing Chong 9 September 2024 By Paul Donegan London City Lionesses and Newcastle United shared the points as two of the Championship title favourites drew 1-1 on the opening day of the season. Shania Hayles opened the scoring for the Magpies in the first half before Kosovare Asllani equalised for the Pride before half time. The attendance at Hayes Lane of 1,781 was a record in a league game for London City Lionesses. On a pleasant afternoon in south east London, Newcastle saw the first opportunity of the match miss the target in the 6th minute. Five minutes later, Elysia Boddy saw a dipping shot from 25-yards go over as the visitors started well in their first Championship game. Emily Orman made a good save in the 16th minute to put behind an effort from Hayles as the away side had the best chance of the match so far. London City Lionesses appealed for a penalty but referee Lisa Benn waved play on. The home sides first opportunity came in the 18th minute but Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah headed over from a free kick. Two minutes later, Hayles gave Newcastle the lead when Jasmine McQuade’s pass found her and she finished with a strike from 10-yards into the net. Boye-Hlorkah had London City’s next chance in the 32nd minute but shot straight at last season’s Championship Player of the Season and Golden Glove winner, Claudia Moan, in the Magpies goal. The hosts went close to equalising a minute later when Boye-Hlorkah’s cross from the right found Lotta Lindstrom at the far post but she saw her effort hit the woodwork and bounce away. A nice attacking move from London City Lionesses in the 39th minute saw them equalise when Lindstrom’s ball into the penalty area found Swedish international Asllani who finished past Moan. With three minutes left of the first half, Orman kept out efforts from Charlotte Potts and Hayles following a Newcastle corner. Emma Mukandi had the last chance of the half for the home side deep into stoppage time but her free kick was saved. Newcastle’s Amy Andrews had the first opportunity of the second period but shot wide. Charlene Meyong put an effort wide from the edge of the area for London City in the 54th minute. Asllani struck a free kick at Moan, after twice being brought back after taking the kick too quickly when passing to the unmarked Mukandi. Forward Isobel Goodwin came on for her London City debut in the 71st minute after only signing from Sheffield United the day before. She had her first chance seven minutes later but shot at the Newcastle goalkeeper. Goodwin then went past Moan but Potts superbly blocked as she was about to shoot into an empty net. Boddy’s effort for the Magpies from 30 yards flew over the crossbar three minutes from the end of the match. The referee brought the action to an end before Newcastle had time to take a corner and the sides had to settle for a point each. The Pride are away to Blackburn Rovers on Sunday whilst the Magpies have the weekend off before playing their first home match in the second tier against Sheffield United on the 22nd September. Line ups London City Lionesses (3-4-1-2): Orman, Goldie, Brougham, Henson, Wilde (Neville 71’), Meyong, Roddar (Scofield 80’), Mukandi, Asllani (c) (Fitzgerald 90’+1), Lindstrom (Goodwin 71’), Boye-Hlorkah Unused substitutes: Moloney, Marashi, Ajao, Brown Goal – Asllani 39’ Booked – Brougham, Roddar, Asllani, Mukandi, Goldie Newcastle United (4-1-2-3): Moan, Cataldo (Joel 69’), Cooper, Potts, Stokes (c), Boddy, McQuade (Sibley 69’), Furness (Stobbs 46’), Barker, Andrews (Lumsden 85’), Hayles (Haywood 63’) Unused substitutes: Hawkins, Watt, Gibson, Greenwood Goal – Hayles 20’ Booked – Stokes, Sibley, Stobbs Referee – Lisa Benn Attendance – 1,781

  • Soaring high: The Eagles land at the top of the table | Match Report

    Elise Hughes' goal secures Crystal Palace's spot at the top after a 1-0 win over Birmingham City Back Match Report Soaring high: The Eagles land at the top of the table Elise Hughes' goal secures Crystal Palace's spot at the top after a 1-0 win over Birmingham City Crystal Palace Women 15 April 2024 By Paul Donegan Crystal Palace moved to the top of the Women’s Championship table with a 1-0 win over Birmingham City on Sunday afternoon. Elise Hughes scored the only goal of the game for the Eagles late in the first half. The Blues had Jade Moore sent off just after the hour mark before Lucy Thomas saved a late Palace penalty. Laura Kaminski lined her side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Ria Percival and Fliss Gibbons both got forward in full back positions with Alexia Potter, the deeper midfielder, dropping back to help in defence. Hopcroft got forward from midfield to support the attack. Emily Simpkins, who was in charge of Birmingham after Darren Carter’s departure during the week, lined the Blues up in a 4-4-1-1 formation. With Choe Yu-Ri and Lucy Quinn both attacking on the wings to support Libby Smith, the formation changed into 4-2-3-1 when going forward. An early Birmingham free kick was easily claimed by Lambourne, but apart from this it was a quiet start to the match with no shots at goal in the first 20 minutes. Moore was booked in the 9th minute after she committed a foul. In the 20th minute, the visitors had the first opportunity of the match when Charlie Devlin played in Smith but with the ball bobbling, she put her shot over the crossbar. The home sides first chances came in the 27th minute when Hughes saw an effort blocked then Isibeal Atkinson’s low shot was saved by Thomas. Devlin’s shot was blocked by Potter on the half hour mark, and at the other end, the visitors goalkeeper claimed a deep cross from Gibbons in the 36th minute. A minute later, Molly Sharpe played in Annabel Blanchard and her curling shot was tipped behind by Thomas for a corner as the Eagles had their best chance of the match so far. Just after one minute of additional time at the end of the half had been indicated, Hughes scored her 16th goal in the league this season to give Palace the lead from close range, finishing Blanchard’s cross. Claudia Walker came on at half time for Lucy Quinn on the right side of Birmingham’s midfield. Smith let the ball bounce after a cross into the area and put an effort over in the 49th minute as the visitors had the first opportunity of the second half. The hosts had the next chance when Sharpe passed to Blanchard who played the ball onto Atkinson whose shot went narrowly wide in the 57th minute. Rebecca Holloway’s powerful run down the left side for the Blues finished with the ball being put behind for a corner. Moore was sent off in the 62nd minute after receiving her second yellow card for a handball when she stopped a Palace attack in the middle of the pitch. This led to Birmingham changing to a 4-4-1 formation with Devlin dropping back deeper into midfield. Shortly after this, Palace made a change with Atkinson coming off and Araya Dennis on which meant Sharpe moved to the left side of midfield with Dennis on the right. Jade Pennock came on as a substitute for the Blues in the 69th minute, making her first appearance after recovering from a hamstring injury she sustained in December. Gibbons shot from 25-yards went just wide of the post in the 79th minute as Palace went close to scoring a second. In the final minute of the match, the Eagles were awarded a penalty after Hughes had been brought down in the area. Blanchard stepped up to take the spot kick but her low effort towards the corner was well saved by Thomas. Birmingham had a late free kick but this came to nothing. Crystal Palace easily held on for the rest of the match to move two points clear of Sunderland and three clear of Charlton at the top of the Championship table with two games remaining. The defeat ended any hope the Blues had of winning the league. Line-ups Crystal Palace (4-2-3-1) : Lambourne, Percival, Everett (c), Nolan, Gibbons, Potter, Hopcroft (Guyatt 90’+2), Sharpe, Blanchard, Atkinson (Dennis 66’), Hughes Unused substitutes: Negri, Arthur, Filbey, Reilly, Doran, Watson, Larkin Goal – Hughes 45’+1 Birmingham City (4-4-1-1): Thomas, Herron, Louise Quinn (c), Lawley, Holloway, Choe (Pennock 69’), Moore, Agg (Harrison-Murray 89’), Lucy Quinn (Walker 46’), Devlin (Cho 69’), Smith (Pullen, 89’) Unused substitutes: Clarke, Dungate, Wilson, Hall Booked – Moore, Walker Sent off – Moore 62’ Referee – Magdalena Golba

  • ERWFL Premier Division: Kings Lynn Town v Stevenage | Match Report

    Stevenage claim 5-0 victory over Kings Lynn Town Back Match Report ERWFL Premier Division: Kings Lynn Town v Stevenage Stevenage claim 5-0 victory over Kings Lynn Town Ed Payne 13 October 2022 By Ed Payne It was a five-star performance from Stevenage as they dismantled a tricky King’s Lynn Town at The Walks on Sunday. The goals were shared amongst the team alongside an unfortunate own-goal as Boro’ claimed all three points to maintain third place in the ERWFL Premier Division. After a few early probing balls from Stevenage, they broke again down the right flank. Anna Re sent a teasing ball over the defence and Amy Makewell turned around her marker to collect the ball and slot home past Christina Vivas. That was the 30th goal of her Stevenage career and set her apart as the third highest goal scorer of all time. With just over ten minutes of the half remaining, Boro’ doubled their lead. Kelsey Millen burst forward and saw her initial shot saved and cleared back to her, where she sent a looping shot into the top corner for her first goal at the club. Celine Ray faced her biggest challenge of the half before the next goal. A terrific save down low when Jodie Hopkins-Duckhouse found herself alone in the area. The third goal came just five minutes later when Vicky Neal fed Becky Shephard sent a hard, high shot towards goal from thirty yards that Vivas could not keep out. The second half saw Stevenage pick up where they left off. As they battled forward with ten minutes of the half elapsed, Neal won the ball back in the eighteen-yard box. Her little touch gave Amy Gooderham space to get behind the defence and send a low shot to the left of Vivas for the fourth goal of the game. Stevenage continued to pressure Town and the tireless Gooderham continued to cause problems. After some excellent work down the left, she cut into the box and sent a low ball across goal that Town defender Frances Peeling turned in to her own net for a five-goal lead. Tilly Sands came the closest for Town with a low driven shot from distance, but it did not trouble Ray in the Stevenage goal. Millen and Gooderham both had late opportunities to add to their goals, but neither could find the net. In the end it was a comfortable victory and Boro’ move on to next week as they continue their defence of the County Cup in Ware against Wodson Park Ladies. Stevenage: Ray, Re, Nebbitt, Farmer, Neal (c), Price, Millen, Shephard, Greenwood, Gooderham, Makewell Subs: Manning, Webster, Bellinger Goals: Makewell, Millen, Shephard, Gooderham, Peeling (OG)

  • WSL: Aston Villa v West Ham | Match Report

    West Ham end Aston Villa's perfect start with a 2-1 victory in 103 minute thriller Back Match Report WSL: Aston Villa v West Ham West Ham end Aston Villa's perfect start with a 2-1 victory in 103 minute thriller Ryan Asman 19 October 2022 By Paul Donegan West Ham beat Aston Villa 2-1 in a dramatic match in the WSL on Saturday. West Ham took a two goal lead in the first half thanks to Dagny Brynjarsdottir and Honoka Hayashi. Alisha Lehmann saw her penalty for Aston Villa saved by Mackenzie Arnold in the second half before Kenza Dali got a goal back for the hosts. Hawa Cissoko was sent off for the visitors in injury time after appearing to throw a slap at Sarah Mayling. Hammers manager Paul Konchesky and another member of the coaching staff were shown red cards after a melee on the touchline as Cissoko left the pitch. Carla Ward had won the WSL Manager of the Month after Aston Villa had won their first two league games, and Rachel Daly had won WSL Player of the Month after scoring three goals in her first two league games. West Ham came into the game off the back of losing their last two league games after winning their first. Both had drawn in the Conti Cup two weeks ago before winning penalty shoot-outs for an additional point. The Hammers opened the scoring in the 2nd minute when Brynjarsdottir headed in a Kirsty Smith corner and scored in her the third successive game for West Ham. Aston Villa had a couple of half chances before the away side doubled their lead in the 14th minute. Hayashi scored her first goal for the club with a low finish from about 6 yards out. Daly headed wide from a corner in the 17th minute as Villa looked to get back into the game. At the other end, Viviane Asseyi collected the ball after a poor back pass, rounded the goalkeeper but went out wide and shot into the side netting. Hayashi shot over three minutes later. Mayling then saw her free kick for Villa take a deflection off the wall and was saved by Arnold. Arnold was booked in the 32nd minute after a ‘coming together’ between her and Daly which resulted in the Villa forward falling to the ground. Arnold saved a volley from Daly in the 38th minute, and a minute later the home side shot over from around 25 yards out. The closest Villa came to scoring a goal in the first half came in additional time when Anna Patten’s headed from a corner hit the outside of the post. Arnold was warned about time wasting early in the second half. Risa Shimizu tested Anna Leat with shot in the 60th minute as West Ham looked to go further ahead. Villa had a number of chances shortly after with Arnold making a save from Kirsty Hanson, and Patten’s header was also saved by the Hammers goalkeeper. Aston Villa were awarded a penalty in the 72nd minute when Kate Longhurst was adjudged to have handballed. Lehmann stepped up to take the spot kick which Arnold saved diving to her right and pushing the ball away before it was cleared. Villa did find the net in the 77th minute. Daly passed to Dali who scored with a shot into the top corner from about 15 yards to set up an exciting last 15 minutes or so. West Ham prevented Villa having any clear chances though with Daly sending a shot over in the 90th minute but the offside flag was up anyway. An altercation between West Ham's Hawa Cissoko and Aston Villa's Sarah Mayling occurred in extra time. Photo: Ryan Asman In the first minute of stoppage time, Mayling pulled Cissoko back as she tried to break. Then there was some pushing and shoving between the two before Cissoko raised her hands at Mayling. Referee Cheryl Foster immediately showed the West Ham player a red card and booked Mayling for her part. Cissoko took her time leaving the pitch and as she passed the dugouts there was an alteration between the coaching staff. After speaking to the fourth official and assistant referee, Foster sent off Konchesky and another member of the backroom team in the fourth extra minute. Villa had a few half chances in the remaining additional minutes but were unable to score an equaliser as they fell to their first defeat of the season. The win leaves West Ham sixth in the league after the weekend’s matches, Villa are fourth. Next weekend, Aston Villa are at home to Everton on Saturday, and West Ham are at home to Reading on Sunday.
