McCabe: 'We played right 'til the very end'

Katie McCabe picked up the Barclays WSL Player of the Match award on Sunday as we defeated Aston Villa 2-1 in dramatic fashion at Emirates Stadium.

The Republic of Ireland international kickstarted our comeback from 1-0 down by scoring the equaliser in stoppage time, before Beth Mead returned from injury and combined with Alessia Russo to secure all three points.

"It was an unbelievable team performance," said McCabe during her post-match interview. "We played right til the very end and I think it shows the mentality in this team. The girls coming off the bench and making the impact they did, and you know what, 35,000 fans here to cheer us on at the Emirates was unbelievable, so we’re just delighted to get the win for them today.
