The 20-year-old defender produced a superb finish from distance to find the empty net after advancing goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley was left stranded outside the box thanks to pressure from departing captain Bethany England, with the Japan international running straight to the dugout to embrace Head Coach Martin Ho as our travelling supporters went wild at the Amex Stadium.

We had fallen behind to in-form Madison Haley’s goal shortly after the break but drew level nine minutes from time when Olivia Holdt lashed home her 10th goal of the season. But Koga stole the headlines with her wonder goal, as we maintained our record of never losing on the final day of a WSL season in memorable fashion.
