Leah Williamson is back!

Fans finally got what they were waiting for. In the match against Everton, the Arsenal star took to the pitch for the first time this season after recovering from a knee injury.

• Williamson, the Arsenal and England defender who captained the Lionesses to European success, had not featured since the Euro final, and her inclusion in the squad was a sign she’s nearing full match fitness — though she didn’t start the game.
• In the Arsenal lineup, more experienced players like Katie McCabe, Kim Little and Alessia Russo were named in the starting XI, with Russo also celebrating a milestone as she marked her 100th WSL appearance.
• In the 82nd minute, the fans got what they had been waiting for: Williamson returned to the pitch for the first time this season and celebrated her comeback with a 3-1 win.
