Neil – what a week it’s been for Cortnee Vine! Her first Matildas squad callup, a goal, an assist and an outrageous nutmeg on a defender whose identity we shall protect

Eric – Irish international Leanne Kiernan scored a six minute hat trick in Liverpool’s 6-0 win over Blackburn Rovers

Maj – Wini Heatley scored her first Melbourne City goal and was also named in the Matildas squad

Steffen – Karly Roestbakken, for making the latest Matildas squad as she continues her comeback from injury

Cheryl – 1) Emma Checker, we love seeing defenders score, and 2) Tony Gustavsson for agreeing to be interviewed and being so generous with his time
