'So f*cking tired!' - Lucia Garcia gives sweary assessment of Man Utd's dramatic WSL victory over Aston Villa live on air

  • Man Utd staged a comeback to win against Villa
  • Garcia and Rachel Williams got on the scoresheet
  • Goalscorer swore while talking about the match

WHAT HAPPENED? The Red Devils found themselves trailing at Villa Park after Rachel Daly opened the scoring for the hosts. However, they staged a thrilling comeback, with Spanish forward Garcia making it 1-1 from a set-piece before Rachel Williams scored a header in stoppage time to seal the three points.

Garcia was named the most valuable player of the match for her terrific performance in attack, but the forward was also guilty of using explicit language in a post-match interview.

WHAT THEY SAID: When asked on BBC2 if it was a physically draining match, she said: "I mean, I'm so f*cking tired. A top match, we fought to the very end. We are very happy to score the two goals and come back from behind. It was hard work but we just kept going."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: After making a winning start to the WSL campaign, Garcia has already shifted her focus on United's "big match" against Arsenal next Saturday to build a winning momentum.

"We did a good job to show the fight and to show the character we have. We deserved these kinds of things because we fought until the end. Now we need to rest and recover for Friday when we have another big match," she said.

WHAT NEXT? Garcia needs to keep up her goalscoring form throughout the campaign to fuel United's title challenge. Their squad depth bailed them out against Villa and it will be put to the test again by the Gunners next weekend.
