Arsenal midfielder Danielle van de Donk was delighted with her match-winning contribution on Monday night, as her late goal from the bench secured a dramatic 1-0 Women’s Super League win over Manchester United.
The Gunners had struggled to create chances to breakdown a well-organised defence, with players and manager, Joe Montemurro, alike admitting after the game that tiredness played a part after their midweek trip to Fiorentina in the UEFA Women's Champions League.
But Van de Donk, starting on the bench as Jordan Nobbs made her first start for 302 days after an ACL injury, made the impact Montemurro had hoped for when he sent her on with 20 minutes to go, scoring the winning goal in the final minute of the 90.
