Women's Super League Highlights: Baum and Hanson Shine on Debuts
In the Women's Super League, Lisa Baum made a notable debut for Arsenal, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 victory against Brighton. The 19-year-old winger broke the deadlock in the 10th minute with a well-placed shot into the top corner.
Arsenal, featuring new signings Misa, Georgia Stanway, and Ona Battle, struggled to convert additional chances, relying on a solid defensive performance to maintain their lead. Brighton's new manager, Arturo Ruiz, noted positives despite the loss.
Meanwhile, Tottenham secured a convincing 3-1 win over West Ham, with Kirsty Hanson scoring twice on her debut. Signe Gaupset opened the scoring, and after assisting Hanson’s first goal, Hanson later added a second with a curling shot from the edge of the box. Viviane Asseyi scored a late consolation for West Ham, but Tottenham's performance mirrored their previous season's opener against the same opponent.
