Back for Good(ison): another double game week victory!
•
Join host Freya and the panel as they discuss all of the latest Aston Villa Women news!
It was another double game week this week as Villa Women travelled to Goodison Park to face Everton before kicking off the first Second City derby of the season in the league cup against Birmingham City at Keys Park.
Aston Villa looked comfortable at 0-3 up against Everton but the final whistle blew at a much tighter scoreline of 2-3 which the panel discuss in plenty of detail.
Meanwhile in midweek, Mathilde Harviken scored her first Villa goal but it wasn't to end without some drama as the Blues scored a last minute equaliser to take the game to penalties. It was our girls in claret and blue, however, who took the bonus point after winning 6-5 in sudden death spot kicks, Chasity Grant sealing the bonus point for the lionesses.
The panel will also give their predictions ahead of our roadtrip to Arsenal at the weekend, could we make it three wins on the bounce?
