Rachel Daly's remarkable year continued today when she scored twice on her Aston Villa debut in the Women's Super League.

Daly was a key player in England Lionesses' success at Euro 22 in the summer.

The Harrogate-born player subsequently signed a three-year contract with Villa to return to England after a six-year stint in the National Women's Soccer League in America with Houston Dash.

In today's opening WSL fixture, Daly's curled strike gave Villa a 2-0 lead in the home fixture against Manchester City. After City fought back to lead, Daly pounced to score the winner and be named player of the match.

The exciting match was broadcast live on BBC Two and watched live by 7,000 fans at Villa Park in Birmingham.

Daly played at left back for England at Euro 2022 but has reverted to her forward role with Villa, who finished ninth of 12 in the WSL last season. City were third, so today's thrilling win was an ideal start to Daly's new adventure.
