'Feels different' - Alisha Lehmann reacts after opening WSL goal account for 2023-24 as Aston Villa star posts celebratory photos with Lionesses legend Rachel Daly

Lehmann finally opened her WSL account for the season on Sunday, scoring with a mis-hit volley in a draw for Aston Villa against West Ham. The Switzerland netted just minutes after coming on as a substitute to put the Villans 1-0 up, but West Ham hit back deep into stoppage time to salvage a point at Villa Park.

Lehmann celebrated the strike afterwards on Instagram with a series of photos, which included Lionesses legend Rachel Daly, and the message: "Villa park feels different, thanks for coming Villans."

West Ham's late equaliser secured an important point for the relegation-threatened visitors. The Hammers will now be assured of top-flight status for another season if bottom side Bristol City fail to beat league leaders Manchester City in Sunday's final WSL fixture.

Lehmann and Aston Villa are back in WSL action on Saturday against Brighton. The team then conclude their campaign the following week against current table-toppers Manchester City.
