Rinsola Babajide netted her first competitive goal for Watford Ladies in their 3-2 loss to London Bees on Sunday afternoon in a FA WSL Spring Series fixture.

Watford did score another goal to double their advantage but threw away their lead, before Wilson netted the winner in the 84th minute.
Despite the defeat, Babajide was the most outstanding player on the pitch and picked up the Player of the Match accolade.
