Vivienne Lia on making a "dream" debut

Vivienne Lia is the latest young Gunner to make her senior debut for The Arsenal.

Our 17-year-old academy winger featured for the last fifteen minutes of our Conti Cup quarter-final victory over London City Lionesses and shone down the left flank, showing very little sign of nerves as a debutant.

"It's unbelievable," said Vivienne, still beaming after the final whistle. "You work so hard for these moments, you dream about these moments and coming through the academy, it's every young player's dream. To do this at the club I've spent my whole life supporting, it's incredible."

Whilst she didn't know ahead of time that she'd receive the call-up, Vivienne made sure to be prepared for when the moment came.
