She was then on hand to knock the ball past Palace goalkeeper Shae Yañez for Paví to tap home what proved to be the winning goal at Chigwell Construction Stadium.
A week later Asseyi was on target again, this time at Villa Park to conjure up an equaliser as she peeled off at the back post to head home Katrina Gorry’s inswinging left-footed delivery, taking her tally this term to seven goals in all competitions.
Asseyi is up against Steph Catley and Alessia Russo of Arsenal, as well as Tottenham Hotspur’s Bethany England, Sara Holmgaard of Everton and Manchester United’s Dominique Janssen for the award.
