The 17-year-old made a significant cameo against Twente, coming on after 57 minutes and getting forward to tee up the 96th-minute winning goal for Sára Pusztai.

Esmee Brugts, Barcelona

Barcelona’s Netherlands full-back was on target for the second week running as she scored the second-minute opener in the 4-0 victory at Roma.

Aitana Bonmatí, Barcelona

The midfielder was typically influential in Barcelona’s attacking play, making more passes in the final third than any other player, with five chances created.

Lily Yohannes, OL Lyonnes

As well as scoring, she showed superb vision and anticipation, taking up good positions between the lines and catching the eye with her dribbling.

Erin Cuthbert, Chelsea

Naomie Feller, Real Madrid

Lineth Beerensteyn, Wolfsburg

Displayed admirable composure with her run and finish for the opening goal at Vålerenga and was excellent in her pass selection in the opposition half.
