Arsenal

The England captain, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/leah-williamson-obe-england-germany-2022-euros/blte980a091f58676f6" target="_blank">skippered the Lionesses to European Championship glory</a> in 2022, was otherwise engaged on Sunday afternoon as she attended the Pride of Britain Awards. Having listened to the Arsenal game on her way to that event, she arrived just before <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-vs-man-city-david-raya-gabriel-martinelli/blt1ee0b06eeb3b820d" target="_blank">Gabriel Martinelli struck the only goal of a heavyweight Premier League encounter</a> – via the aid of a deflection off Nathan Ake’s face.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Williamson, who is also vice-captain of Arsenal’s women’s side, was made aware of the crucial goal in a keenly-fought contest at Emirates Stadium when making her way onto the red carpet. Williamson struggled to contain her excitement, with a smile quickly spreading across her face.<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltdb87f87b9de53425/Williamson_3.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltdb87f87b9de53425/Williamson_3.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltdb87f87b9de53425/Williamson_3.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Leah Williamson Arsenal Man City" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:bltdb87f87b9de53425;width:469;height:739"></picture>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Gunners star went on to say, when recovering her bearings somewhat: “Are you joking?” She added after having it confirmed that Mikel Arteta’s side really had forced a breakthrough in the 86th minute: “Did you see my face then? That’s the best news I’ve had all day!”

WHAT THEY SAID

Williamson is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/leah-williamson-completes-first-treadmill-run-after-heartbreaking-acl-injury/bltc199b9f05bafc85c" target="_blank">currently working her way back from an unfortunate ACL injury</a> that prevented her from figuring for England at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, with the 26-year-old back in light training as she closes in on a return to competitive action.
