Republic of Ireland international Ruesha Littlejohn hasn't wasted any time in making an impression on the Women's National League stage.

Having left London City Lionesses in January, 87-cap international Littlejohn was snapped up by Shamrock Rovers in March and showed her ability just 14 minutes into her debut.

The 34-year-old curled home a free-kick against Athlone Town at Tallaght Stadium, but has now gone one better.

With Rovers having just conceded to go 2-1 down against Galway United approaching half-time, Littlejohn spotted Galway goalkeeper Nicole Nix off her line. She measured her lob to perfection, slotting home from the kick-off following Galway's go-ahead goal.
