00:00 We were very worried about Freda.

00:02 Obviously it's not nice to see someone go down off the ball in that kind of manner.

00:07 We quickly got information from Freda that she was OK and that she wanted to go on and

00:11 win and she didn't want to fuss.

00:13 We did that one for her.

00:16 Really impressed.

00:17 We just came into the huddle and said we need to win this game for her.

00:22 We want to...

00:25 It's just awful to see as a team mate and as a friend something like that happen.

00:30 We just said we need to win this game for her.

00:34 I have no doubt whenever adversity hits our team that we're going to step up, step forward.

00:42 I guess Freda's instance, thankfully she's stable and conscious, but that instance in

00:48 itself shows the depth of our squad, being able to step up in moments.

00:54 Our fans are extremely respectful also in that moment, to be cheering and clapping when

01:00 times were hard.

01:02 In terms of mentality, like I say, we've got a deep squad and adversity is what drives

01:09 us.

01:10 Two weeks ago we lost to Chelsea and here today we go toe-to-toe with them and ultimately

01:16 come out the better team.

01:18 I think it's a credit to us but also the epitome of us that we can withstand adversity and

01:24 ultimately triumph through it.
