Watford Ladies were involved in a sensational seven goal thriller against Oxford United over the weekend, but moment of the game was unquestionably Emma Beckett's finish directly from kick off.
The Hornets had just conceded a second-half goal after going three up earlier on and Beckett responded in the best way possible.
The Irish midfielder spotted the Oxford keeper off her line and hit a perfectly-measured strike straight into the net to immediately restore the three goal advantage.
Watford ended up winning 5-2, maintaining their impressive start to the season.
A brace from Adekite Fatuga-Dada and a goal a-piece for Leanne Bell and Katie O'Leary added to Beckett's stunner to help the Hornets overcome United and climb up to third place in the FA Women's National League Premier Division South.
