Justine Vanhaevermaet on the Forest win, scoring goals & facing Durham

Vanhaevermaet bagged the first goal in the 2-1 win at the City Ground last weekend, a fine volley into the right corner after Forest failed to clear their lines.

Speaking about the mood on the bus back to London, she said: "Everyone was really happy after Sunday's win, it was nice to get rewarded for the things that we have been doing. We had some good spells in the first two games as well, but we didn't manage to get a win there.

"We got a point against Southampton. Of course, we were disappointed to not get away with more in those two games."

For Vanhaevermaet, the victory was a testament to the team's hard work under Jo Potter.

She said: "We are building right now. We have a new manager with a new style of play. Every week I feel we are improving. It looks really good. I think the next few weeks will only get better."

Palace Women put in another strong performance on Wednesday against London City Lionesses in the Subway Women's League Cup, where despite the 2-1 defeat, the Eagles dominated large parts of the game against Women's Super League opposition.

The team now faces another away trip in the Barclays Women's Super League 2, this time to a challenging Durham side. Vanhaevermaet is optimistic about the team's chances, despite the difficult opponent.

She said: "I'm feeling good for Durham on the back of an away win, another away trip. I haven't played there yet, but I heard from the girls that it's a tough away game on artificial grass.

"It will be tough, but we're going there to take the three points and hopefully keep our winning streak going.

"I think the team is in a really good place right now. Like I said, we are improving. Durham are a tough opponent, but we have set some objectives for ourselves. We just want to go there and take the three points."

Tickets are now on sale for Palace's huge home clash against Newcastle United on Sunday, 5th October, kicking off at 14:00 BST at the VBS Community Stadium.
