RIVIERE: WE HAVE EVERYTHING TO PLAY FOR
In the context of the race for Champions League football, disappointment was a natural feeling on Sunday, after we only brought a point home from the capital.
The result means our goal to finish in one of the WSL’s three European spots is no longer in our hands, despite the Reds moving up to third in the table and a point above Arsenal.
The Gunners have three games in hand and, while league leaders Manchester City have enough points to finish inside the top three, second-place Chelsea opened up a four-point gap on us by winning at Everton, meaning we’ll need the Blues to drop points against Leicester on Sunday for them to be within striking distance when we meet on the final day.
Full-back Jayde Riviere is remaining optimistic though, and spoke with determination post-match on Sunday, underlining our intention to do everything we can in the coming weeks to qualify for Europe.
“I would say 0-0 was a fair result, it’s not the result we want obviously,” the Canada international told MUTV.
