The Barclays Women’s Super League records keep reaching new heights for Bethany England after her second half strike in our 2-1 win over Liverpool on Sunday saw her create history once more.

After Toko Koga’s first goal for the Club cancelled out Beata Olsson’s early opener for the away side, our captain was on hand to fire us into the lead eight minutes after the break with a clinical finish from inside the box – and that strike saw her become the first player in the WSL to net 50 home goals in the competition.

Her goal against the Reds was her 11th goal at Brisbane Road since completing her move to north London in January, 2023 – netting 17 home goals in total for us, including six at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This is just one of two records Bethany has claimed in the WSL this year as in March, 2025, she also took the record by becoming the first player to score 25+ goals for two different teams in England's top flight division.

That result against the Merseyside club also maintained our positive start in the WSL as we claimed our fifth win in seven games in the competition – already matching our tally from entirety of last season.
