This corner kick was a perfect execution off the training ground for Leicester City, and it’s the kind of move that doesn’t happen very often. Usually, at least one defender from the opposing team is guarding a near-post run, but Liverpool packed their defense in, expecting the cross to come in directly from the corner.

Hannah Cain bolted toward the ball, and it was too late when everyone realized it was a pass. Cain made great contact, and the ball found the net, plus the celebrations show just how much it means to keep Leicester from relegation. 

4. Giada Greggi – AS Roma

AS Roma has been dominant in Serie A Femminile, and they continued their seven-game winning streak after defeating Inter Milan.

Giada Greggi provided the emphatic finish to give Roma the needed insurance goal. Once Greggi put her head up, she knew she would take the shot. Greggi generated so much power it looked like the ball might go over the bar, but it dipped back down just enough to outfox the keeper; this was a great goal. 

3. Bethany England – Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham did well to catch Manchester United asleep on this goal. Once Tottenham took the quick free kick, Bethany England launched the attack with plenty of space. England had to go on her own with none of her teammates around.

While Manchester United’s defense got back to defend, England still put on a nice move to score. England’s quick shoulder dip was followed by a beautiful, curled strike that nestled into the far corner.

Tottenham came up short in this match, but not because of Bethany England.

2. Cyera Hintzen – Perth Glory

Cyera Hintzen, Take a bow 👏

The American gets her second of the game deep into stoppage time in fine fashion!

College soccer fans might recognize the name Cyera Hintzen from her days as a star striker at the University of Texas. Hintzen was drafted by the now-defunct Utah Royals and moved to Perth to keep her playing career going.

All in one motion, Hintzen turned her shoulder and created enough power to let the shot rip from long range, and the goalkeeper had no chance of saving it. If Hintzen continues scoring goals like these, she will catch someone’s attention in the NWSL.

1. Jordan Nobbs – Aston Villa

HAT-TRICK HERO @JordanNobbs8 🎩🤩

Jordan Nobbs has made a big splash since signing with Aston Villa, and this goal scored makes that even more evident.

Brighton’s defenders should never have dropped off Nobbs and allowed her to dribble into open space. That allowed Nobbs to see the path and line up the shot, but the technique still had to be perfect, which it is. Jordan Nobbs made it look so easy when it’s the opposite.

Most players would send that shot 5-10 rows into the stands, but Nobbs struck it to perfection.
