Gameweek 2 delivered a showreel of the highest quality across the WSL and WSL2. From ruthless finishes to outrageous worldies, this weekend of women’s football was stacked with numerous Goal of the Season contenders. From Russo’s thunderbolt, Devlin’s long-distance curler, to Tandberg’s 40-yarder, the Absolute Bangers this week were varied but absolutely top notch.
So here it is: the very best goals from Gameweek 2 in both the WSL and WSL2.
Featuring:
- Alessio Russo with a thunderbolt: West Ham 1-5 Arsenal (WSL)
- Abbie Larkin with a spin and banger: Crystal Palace 4-4 Southampton (WSL2)
- Charlie Devlin with a curler from distance: Newcastle 1-1 Sheffield United (WSL2)
- Emily Scarr with a run and dink: Sunderland 1-1 Birmingham (WSL2)
- Cathinka Tandberg with a career-defining 40-yard worldie: Everton 0-2 Tottenham (WSL)y
Track: Swerve It | Bou x Camo & Krooked x Mefjus
Tandberg’s strike will be on repeat for weeks if not years. It was Beckham-esque – not bad for her first start in the league.
This weekend’s bangers will be hard to beat, but if Gameweek 3 is anything like this one, women’s football fans are in for a treat.
