Arsenal 5-0 Crystal Palace: What the managers said
Arsenal continued their flying form under new head coach Renee Slegers with a thumping 5-0 win over Women's Super League strugglers Crystal Palace on Sunday. Here is what the managers had to say after the game.
Arsenal's Renee Slegers: "In the first half, you see that we haven't played competitive games at all for a month. In the second half I think we looked more like ourselves, there are definitely things we want to do better but we looked more like ourselves.
"I think credit to the girls to stay so persistent throughout the game. We end up with a clean sheet which is very important and five different types of goals.
"We have to believe that [the title race is still on] and we have to do everything within our control and we did that today.
"It's definitely the result we wanted and the result we needed. We have that belief and we keep on looking upwards in every game we play and try to get closer."
Crystal Palace's Laura Kaminski: "At the moment we have no problems with motivation. I know it seems like that from the outside looking in after a heavy loss, but we know how difficult it is to come here and compete against a side who are in and around the Champions League and are in a different place to us.
"We have to keep focused that these games are something we always fight and compete to get something out of, but for me there's things around the corner where we've got to really focus our attention.
"Unfortunately that's the level and the sharp end of the game that emotionally we have to stay controlled and know that the positives around the corner for us, we've got to go after games that we can go after in and around us."
