A goalless stalemate at Vicarage Road kicked off both sides' campaigns. Burnley rolled up with 10 fresh faces; Watford went even further with 13 new signings. No goals, but certainly no shortage of drama - Watford keeper Safia Middleton-Patel pulled off several vital saves to keep the sheet clean.
Set pieces proved deadly as Southampton beat Durham, with three of the four goals arriving from dead-ball situations. Ellie Brazil starred for the hosts, while Durham barely troubled the opposition - managing just six touches inside Southampton's box, WSL Football reports.
Newcastle made a statement with 70% possession against Wolves. Two early strikes set the tone, Beth Lumsden central to the damage. Even their defenders got in on the act, helping lock down total control.
Katy Watson bagged a brace and laid on an assist as Sunderland dismantled Bristol City. The convincing victory sent them straight to the top of the table. Not a bad opening day, that.
Nottingham Forest thought they had it wrapped up - until Megan Hornby produced a stunner to snatch a point for Ipswich in the dying moments. Forest had dominated for long spells but couldn't close it out.
An own goal helped Leicester over the line against Sheffield United, though they were forced to see out the final stages with ten players. Asmita Ale shone brightest in a gritty victory to open the season.
