**Women’s Super League: Key Highlights from the Weekend's Matches** Jordan Nobbs has made history by becoming the Women’s Super League’s all-time leading appearance maker, featuring in her 193rd match during an exciting 4-2 defeat for Aston Villa against Brighton. Villa's manager, Robert de Pauw, drew a comparison between Nobbs and renowned midfielder Luka Modric, praising her energy and experience on the field. He stated, “She’s one of the older players on the team, but good enough is old enough. If I had to compare her to one player, it would be Modric. I have immense respect for her contributions and the level she consistently brings.” At 31 years old and with 71 caps for England, Nobbs is now playing in a deeper, holding midfield role, a shift from her earlier days as a No. 10. De Pauw emphasized that a player with Nobbs' ability to read the game can excel in various positions, highlighting her versatility and football intelligence.
