Manager’s thoughts: “The girls were magnificent, I couldn’t have asked any more of them.

"I gave them scenarios to deal with and rotated their positions in order to make sure they didn’t have it easy on the pitch.

"They rose to every challenge I gave them and then some.

"Even going down to eight players at one point but playing the majority of the second half with nine.

"What an account of themselves they gave today. Working hard for each other and really supporting each person on the pitch when they needed to.

"They deserve to be where they are in the league and I am so proud of them”
