Katie Reid Makes Full Arsenal Debut in 3-1 Win Over Valerenga
Katie Reid made her full Arsenal debut on Thursday night in Oslo, starting in a 3-1 win over Valerenga. Alongside Katie in the backline, Laia Codina made her return to the starting XI.
**Katie on her first start:** “It was honestly just unreal to step out on the pitch today and just play alongside everyone. It was an amazing experience to be with them.”
**Laia on returning to the starting XI:** “It was nice to be again on the pitch and playing 90. And I’m happy with the win. I think that it was a tough game and we’ve seen other teams struggle a little bit playing here. So, it’s nice to get the result.”
**Laia on six straight wins and building momentum:** “100% and now we just need to keep going, because I think that we can continue to keep getting better, which is the best thing and it’s the best way to keep going and keep winning.”
**Katie on little time to recover before Liverpool:** “I feel like we’ve got to build from this game, take the confidence. I feel like there was a lot of rotation today. So, that should build confidence within the team. We’re going to recover as best as possible so that we’ll be ready for Sunday.”
**Laia on the travelling support:** “That was impressive. That was amazing from the fans. They’re always on our side, but I think that today it was even better. We ended the game and after five minutes I was already freezing and they’ve been there for more than 90 minutes. So, a big thank you for how they have been with us the whole season and I hope that we can deliver more wins for them.”
