‘It’s just a real privilege to watch Miedema’

Vivianne Miedema scored a record-breaking 16th goal of the season on Sunday as we ran out 3-0 winners over Reading.

The Netherlands international fired into the bottom corner after two minutes to create a new Women’s Super League record.

“It’s a privilege to have players like her around in terms of her skillset and intelligence,” said Aaron D’Antino, who was filling in for the absent Joe Montemurro.

“She’s a very intelligent player and it’s a privilege to watch her play. For what we want to achieve, a goalscorer like her is exactly what we need.

“Her brain works in so many different ways too, so that’s why she scores so many goals.
