Everton's Rikke Madsen celebrated a triumphant return to the Women's Super League after a year away, capped off by her boyfriend Martin Thomsen's surprise proposal on the pitch. Madsen, who gave birth in October, came off the bench during a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace. The moment was especially emotional as Thomsen arrived with their newborn and proposed after her return to the game. Madsen expressed her joy at returning to play and the unexpected proposal, marking the day as one of the happiest in her life.
"I've been waiting for this moment for so long now, a year. Ever since becoming pregnant I've been aiming to get back as quick as possible."
"Today my little baby is turning five months so it is so nice to be back. Ending off with my boyfriend asking me to marry him, that was a little twist. I did not expect that."
