Inside six minutes, the Netherlands international almost did exactly that by netting the opener as she sent a stellar strike from distance inches wide of the goal.
But, just before half-time, Miedema did what she does best and stunned the home fans into silence with a 41st-minute equaliser -- heavily deflected off Laia Codina.
The midfielder was nonchalant and languid as her new teammates crowded around her to take joy in her first WSL goal wearing a City shirt.
Miedema had torn her anterior cruciate ligament on the same pitch in December 2022, leading to a 16-month absence before returning for one final goodbye.
