Soraya Walsh was the sole West Ham United women's team loanee in action at the weekend.
Midfielder Walsh came on as a second-half substitute in Watford’s last-gasp 2-1 victory at AFC Wimbledon in the Women’s National League Southern Premier Division on Sunday.
The Hornets, buoyed by a 2-0 success at home to Plymouth Argyle, had the lead at half-time at the Cherry Red Records Stadium courtesy of Florence Fyfe’s 26th-minute finish.
Midfielder Walsh, who joined Watford on a season-long loan in August, entered proceedings just after the hour mark and saw the hosts restore parity with 13 minutes to play.
However, in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time, Isabella Fisher struck an unstoppable effort from inside the area to clinch all three points for Renée Hector’s side.

The win moves the unbeaten Hornets up to third in the early standings ahead of their FA Women's National League Cup Group J tie at home to Chesham on Sunday 7 September at kick-off 2pm BST.
Walsh was on target and Dowsett kept a clean sheet in Watford's first Group J match, which saw them ease past Charlton Athletic’s Professional Game Academy side by a 7-0 scoreline. The four-team group is completed by Women's Premier League Division One outfit Queens Park Rangers.
Elsewhere on Sunday, Ruby Warwick was an unused substitute for Barking, who fell to a 3-0 defeat against Brentford in their first home game of the campaign.
Regan Graver, Khyri McKenzie and substitute Chelsie Berry came up with the goods for the visitors in the London and South East Regional Women's Premier Division clash.
Barking will look to bounce back at home to Ashford Town on Sunday 7 September at 2.30pm BST.
