By Aston Villa FC

Emily Gielnik’s strike against Everton has been named as a nominee for the Barclays FA Women’s Super League Goal of the Month award for February!

Villa Women recorded one of their finest top-flight victories against the Toffees, and our Australian forward opened the scoring in Merseyside.

Emily’s close-range finish may have seemed a simple one, but Jill Scott’s dazzling assist caught the eye of many.

Following Maz Pacheco’s corner from the right-hand side, Scott expertly hooked the ball back across goal while facing away from play, and our no.9 was on hand to tap home.
