We picked up three points and another clean sheet in our 3-0 victory over Aston Villa, something which delighted our goalkeeper, Anneke Borbe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last summer’s signing has 11 clean sheets in 16 appearances in her maiden campaign, notching up her latest with a composed performance at Villa Park.<\/p>\n

When asked about her latest shutout, she said: “It’s great defending. You can see today, I barely touched the ball with my hands, so it’s just the whole team. It starts up front, we really pride ourselves on our defending, and I think we did that really well today.<\/p>\n

“I think it was just a great game from us \u2013 a really professional performance. We brought our game here, played really well and scored three goals, so we’re really happy about that.”<\/p>\n

The games have come thick and fast in recent weeks but that didn’t stop our Gunners from starting fast, with Alessia Russo and Frida Maanum netting in the first half.<\/p>\n

She said: “Really good first half. I think we did a good job with recovery after the last game. We just wanted to show another face today, and I think we did that really well.<\/p>\n

“We know that we have to perform in the last games. We want to secure the second spot. I think we’re professional enough to just bring our performance on the pitch and not really think about our tired legs or something.”<\/p>\n

Our supporters packed out the away end in Villa Park, just days after doing the same at Brighton.<\/p>\n

“It’s just great,” Borbe said. “I think I never experienced that at another club, having so many supporters at home games as well as away games. It’s always great to have them in the back.”<\/p>\n
