Beth Mead credited the support of her Arsenal team-mates after scoring her first goals since returning from an 11-month injury layoff. The England international, recalled to Sarina Wiegman's squad last week, followed up Frida Maanum's opener with a first-half brace to send the Gunners on their way to a 3-0 victory over West Ham in the Women's Super League on Sunday.

Liverpool manager Matt Beard hailed the impact of Shanice van de Sanden after she scored in her first game since giving birth to a baby girl. The forward only returned to training with the Reds on Friday but netted the second in a 4-0 rout over Brighton, with Gemma Bonner, Ceri Holland and Sophie Roman Haug also on the scoresheet.

Man United had to wait until the second half to make the breakthrough, with Japan international Hinata Miyazawa scoring after 50 minutes. Nikita Parris doubled United's lead five minutes later to seal the deal.

Khadija Shaw believes hard graft was the secret to her goalscoring heroics as she bagged a hat-trick in Manchester City's 7-0 win over Tottenham.
