Renée Slegers has been nominated for the Barclays Manager of the Month award after securing victories in both of our league matches in December.
Wins over Liverpool and Everton saw us move up to third in the Women's Super League table, jumping ahead of Manchester United to return to the Champions League places.
We started off the month in dramatic style with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Liverpool at Emirates Stadium thanks to a first-half stunner from Olivia Smith against her former side and an 87th-minute winner from Stina Blackstenius.
A week later, after a 1-0 win over Twente in the Women's Champions League, we faced Everton in what was our first match at Goodison Park.
