Ashley Lawrence scored her first Chelsea goal in a rout. Plus, Liam Millar helped Preston North End get back to winning ways and Jordyn Huitema and Quinn are headed to the NWSL championship. Here s a look at Canadians in action over the weekend.
Town go into the international break second in the Championship following a 4-2 victory over third-placed Preston North End, who they now lead by eight points. Conor Chaplin gave the Blues the lead in the 18th minute, before Mads Frøkjær levelled for the visitors nine minutes later, before Brandon Williams made it 2-1 with a brilliant solo goal and Nathan Broadhead netted a third in injury time. Town made a slow start to the second half and Lilywhites’ sub Ben Whiteman pulled a goal back on 52 but Kayden Jackson sealed Town’s ninth win of the season 12 minutes from time as all five subs combined.
When Town played Preston North End in a pre-season friendly on 19th July, neither set of fans would have predicted that they would have had such good starts to the season.
