In this extract from the official match programme, Manchester United Women forward Rachel Williams looks forward to facing her hometown team Leicester City ...
I always start by wanting to compete for the league – picking up anything individual on the way is a bonus – and I want to win the FA Cup. Every year, I’m like “I want one!” and I remember a couple of times last year I’d missed out to [then Tottenham team-mate] Ashleigh Neville, and rightly so she’s a great player, but when I heard I was up for Goal of the Month I was thinking, ‘could this be when I’m going to get a little blue trophy?!’ I’ve scored a lot of goals over the years but I think the significance of that goal and what it meant to us, the late drama of it all... I kind of shot and spun, and saw it go in as the keeper just stood in the centre of the goal. It got to about 82 minutes and I thought I wasn’t going to get on, but then all of a sudden it was like, “Rach, get ready.” The atmosphere was already tense, you could see everyone was getting a bit stressed as it was getting to 90 minutes. I just remember me and Jon, we were cleaning up in the changing rooms afterwards and we just fell about laughing – we couldn’t believe how it worked!” I’ve won it already with Birmingham [in 2012] and I was at the FA Cup final for both the men and women last year and I just remember thinking, ‘I’m going to be in this final next year’, so it’s a little target I’ve set myself that I want to win it again.
