‘We had a gameplan and controlled it throughout’

Joe Montemurro took charge of his first-ever Champions League fixture on Thursday night, as we beat Fiorentina 4-0 in the first leg of the last-32 clash.

Our head coach opted for three at the back, with Katie McCabe and Leonie Maier either side of Jennifer Beattie - and we dominated the game from start to finish, showing composure in front of goal and maturity in defence.

We spoke to Montemurro after the game and this is what he said:

on whether that was one of their most mature performances…
It’s certainly one of them.
