All six U.S. Women’s National Team players currently competing abroad saw action in a busy weekend of competition, headlined by Emily Sonnett clinching the Swedish league title and Alex Morgan making her Tottenham Hotspur debut.
On the penultimate matchday of the season, Sonnett helped her club Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC to a 7-0 victory over Linkoping and in the process secured the club’s first league title. The 2020 Damallsvenskan champions, Göteborg improved upon runner-up results each of the previous two seasons and is now unbeaten in its last eight league matches, allowing just one goal over that span. Sonnett, who joined the club in August, has made nine appearances and played the full 90 minutes once again in Saturday’s historic victory.

Coming off their FA Cup win the previous weekend, Manchester City kept its momentum rolling in a 3-0 midweek victory over Liverpool in the group stages of the League Cup. Rose Lavelle scored the second goal of the game for City in the 52nd minute, subbing on at halftime to replace her fellow USWNT teammate Samantha Mewis. Lavelle, who scored her first goal for the club in the Cityzens 3-1 League Cup win over Everton on November 1, made a darting run to the near post to get on the end of a slotted ball back across the area from England international Lucy Bronze. Both Mewis and Lavelle saw action in Manchester City’s 8-1 victory over Bristol City, the club’s largest margin of victory in the FA Women’s Super League this season.
