Arsenal Women kicked off their FA WSL season with a hard-fought 1-0 win away at Brighton - and it was teenager Lisa Baum who stole the show.
The summer signing marked her competitive debut with a cracking goal, driving forward before hammering the ball high into the net. Not a bad way to introduce yourself.
Head coach Renee Slegers handed starts to several fresh arrivals. Misa Rodriguez took her place between the sticks, while Georgia Stanway anchored the midfield and walked away with the Player of the Match award.
Arsenal dominated possession but couldn't put the game to bed. Alessia Russo had multiple opportunities to double the lead yet couldn't find the finish, as reported by OneFootball.
Brighton, to their credit, weren't content to roll over. They threatened on the counter and forced Rodriguez into at least one sharp save early on.
Arsenal's attackers took a few lumps throughout the match, with the referee seemingly happy to let challenges go. That won't have pleased Slegers, though three points will have softened the mood considerably.
A clean sheet, a debut wondergoal, and maximum points - not a bad afternoon's work at all.
