No trophies but Alisha Lehmann dazzles at Aston Villa awards night that sees former Lionesses star Rachel Daly handed special prize

With just one game left to take in this season, Villa’s women’s team have made the most of an opportunity to let collective hair down and enjoy an in-house party. Switzerland international Lehmann formed part of those celebrations.

Lehmann was all smiles as she arrived at the glitzy awards do, and spent most of the night beaming as she rubbed shoulders with club colleagues. Many of those in attendance appeared to be following a black dress code, with Lehmann’s attire incorporating golden detail.

The 25-year-old has only managed four goals this season, with just two of those coming in the WSL, as others did more to catch the eye. Kirsty Hanson won Villa’s Players’ Player of the Season, while Rachel Daly was named Supporters’ Player of the Season. The former Lionesses star, who announced her retirement from England duty in April, was also awarded a special prize to recognise her European Championship-winning international career.

With awards night out of the way, Villa can now turn their attention to a home date with Manchester City on Saturday. Lehmann and Co. may yet have a say in the destiny of the WSL title, with City heading into the final day sat level on points with defending champions Chelsea – with only a split of two in the goal difference department separating a couple of star-studded outfits.
