Vivianne Miedema says she and her team-mates were braced for a tough game against Aston Villa, but praised City’s character in a 4-2 Barclays Women’s Super League win.
The Dutch forward scored a first half brace, which takes her tally to four goals in three games since her return from injury in the new year.
Mary Fowler and Jess Park secured the three points for the Blues after Villa equalised just after the break following a Laia Alexandri own goal.
“We knew it was going to be a really tough game,” she said.

“They just signed new coach, they want to show themselves.
“We had a midweek game Wednesday, we knew it was going to be tough. We can’t keep trailing one nil after ten minutes, we need to fix that up.
“[But] The character shown today, to come back and go and win this game is really, really good”.
