VIDEO: Alisha Lehmann conjures up classy assist for Juventus Women as Swiss star helps to preserve perfect Serie A record

Switzerland international Lehmann made her way to Italy over the summer when bidding farewell to Aston Villa. Her Brazilian boyfriend, Douglas Luiz, did likewise as the pair swapped WSL and Premier League life in the West Midlands for Turin.

Lehmann has settled quickly in new surroundings, with the multi-lingual 25-year-old delighted to be making a fresh start in another country. She has opened her goal account for Juve, while also providing creativity in a wide attacking role.

It was those qualities that were put to good use in her latest outing. Lehmann appeared to be running out of space when scampering into the penalty area during a meeting with Sampdoria. She was, however, able to dig out a cross that was nodded home by prolific striker Cristiana Girelli.

Girelli bagged a brace on the day, as Juventus picked up a comfortable 2-0 win. That success has kept them at the top of the Serie A table, with maximum points being collected from five games. Lehmann will be hoping to retain her starting berth for a Champions League clash with Valerenga on Wednesday.
