00:00Yes, it's what Viv does. She scores the first goal for us in Europe, in Paris, in midweek
00:06and she gets a season opener for us at our old club. She's just got that ability and
00:12probably should have scored just beforehand. I spoke to her about that, the chip of the
00:16keeper. But yes, it just shows her quality at the right moments. It would have been a
00:20big day for her today and it's a tough one to get through because there would have been
00:24some nice moments for her today. But I'm sure it's one she would have been as happy
00:29that it's been put to bed now. She was indicating to me that she was a bit gassed and we knew
00:34that would happen. I think, again, when you think back physically what that does to you
00:39and mentally, the game you're going into against her old team, it's not like she was an Arsenal
00:46player two, three years ago and it's the first time she's come back here. She was an Arsenal
00:50player up until the last game of last season. So it's really tough when you factor all of
00:56those things in. We knew that she probably wouldn't be able to go the full tilt.
