Katie McCabe scored a stunning winning goal for Arsenal against Manchester City in their crunch Women's Super League meeting this afternoon just days after limping off against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
McCabe had to leave the action on Wednesday evening as Arsenal beat Bayern 2-0 to secure a 2-1 aggregate win and reach the Champions League semi-final.
Irish fans' fears were assuaged somewhat when Vera Pauw named the winger in her squad for the upcoming trip to the US.
But McCabe took her place in the starting line-up and curled the ball into the top corner with 12 minutes left after advancing from a set-piece.
It gave the Gunners the win over City as they fought back to win 2-1 after Khadija Shaw had given the visitors an early lead.
McCabe was also involved in the Arsenal equaliser as she gained an assist for Frida Maanum's 62nd-minute effort.
Arsenal's win moves them above City on goal difference, with both three points behind leaders Manchester United.
Elsewhere, Chelsea moved back to within one point of United with a comfortable 3-0 victory away to Aston Villa.
The Blues carried the momentum from their stunning Champions League win over Lyon in midweek with an impressive display.
Jelena Cankovic opened the scoring to give the visitors a deserved lead before she teed up Guro Reiten to double their advantage before the break.
Sam Kerr notched her 50th WSL goal to claim Chelsea's third when she cut into the box and rifled the ball into the top corner.
Aggie Beever-Jones scored a last-gasp winner to hand Everton a narrow 2-1 victory over Tottenham.
The Toffees took the lead four minutes in when a neat combination of passes unlocked the Spurs defence as Nicoline Sorenson found herself one-on-one with Rebecca Spencer before she fired past the goalkeeper.
Eveliina Summanen pulled things level when she received a pass from Beth England before she finished into the bottom-right corner but Everton waited until stoppage-time to net the winner when Beever-Jones curled the ball home from inside the area.
Leicester moved off the foot of the table thanks to Carrie Jones' last-minute winner at home to Reading.
The Foxes took the lead midway through the first half when Sam Tierney picked out the bottom corner with a composed volley but the Royals equalised on the stroke of half-time through Charlie Wellings.
Leicester were made to wait until deep into stoppage time - as the sides looked to share the spoils - with Jones finishing low into the bottom corner from inside the area to give Leicester their third win of the season.
Elsewhere, Liverpool and West Ham played out a goalless draw at Victoria Road.
