Watford roared to an emphatic penalty shootout win over Leicester City after coming from behind to secure their first win of their Subway Women’s Players Cup campaign this season. 

It was a slow start for the Hornets, with the visitors striking early through Araya Dennis in the first half. The Golden Girls fought back after the break, Poppy Wilson shortly equalising before the Foxes struck again to make it 2-1. A late goal in added time by Phoebie Poole drew the game level at 2-2, taking the match to penalties.

But the hosts held their nerve in the shootout, winning 3-0 to secure two points in the contest to take something from this group fixture in the Cup.

Six weeks into the Bundseliga season and already so many talking points: Bayern München and VfL Wolfsburg are at the top of the table, while the recently promoted club Mainz are at the bottom. So everything is just as it always is, right? Well, not entirely.

There have been some surprises so far, dramatic games, clubs performing differently to expectations and five red cards.

The 2026/27 Liga F season has burst into life, with six match days completed and plenty of early storylines emerging across Spain’s top flight. Barcelona have made the strongest start, sitting top of the table with a perfect six wins from six. Madrid CFF sit second, while Real Madrid are level on points having collected four victories, one draw and a dismantling 7-0 loss to Barcelona at Camp Nou.
