Player of the Match Chloe Kelly sat down with us on the pitch at Emirates Stadium to reflect on our 4-3 win over Manchester United at the end of the Barclays Women’s Super League season.
It was Chloe who gave us the perfect start when she was quick to capitalise on a mistake by Phallon Tullis-Joyce, who fumbled an Alessia Russo cross.
Asked what it was like to secure second place in the WSL, finishing four points clear of United, Chloe said: “Yes, an amazing feeling. We know when we come here at the Emirates, it's an amazing place to play. We have the 12th man behind us in the crowd.
“I think the last two games weren’t a reflection of us as a team, but the reaction and this game definitely is a reflection of us as a group.
“I think to play here is a great opportunity for me. The team are an amazing group of girls, but the coaching staff are incredible. They really give us so much confidence on the pitch and we wanted a fast start today and we did just that.”
Chloe has only been here since January during her second spell at the club, but settled in seamlessly and has been loving life in N5.
“Time flies when you're having fun and that's exactly what I have done since I stepped foot into the training ground on the first day,” she said. “We have unfinished business. We're still in the Champions League final and it's one more to go, so I'm really excited for that. Hopefully, we bring some silverware back to the Emirates.
“Momentum is everything and hopefully we can start fast again and really get going.”
