Katie Reid made her full Arsenal debut on Thursday night in Oslo, starting in a 3-1 win over Valerenga.
Alongside Katie in the backline, Laia Codina made her return to the starting XI and joined our academy graduate for an interview after the full-time whistle.
_Here's everything they had to say:_
**Katie on her first start...**
KR: Yeah, it was honestly just unreal to step out on the pitch today and just play alongside everyone. It was an amazing experience to be with them.
**Katie on the support she received today...**
KR: I feel like they're all just saying that it's deserved. So, that honestly made me feel really secure stepping onto the pitch. And, makes you kind of know that they trust you. It's just nice to go on the pitch and play with the girls. So, I really enjoyed it.
LC: And we enjoy playing with her!
**Laia on returning to the starting XI...**
LC: Yeah, of course, we enjoyed it. It's been a while with Lotte. But it was nice to be again on the pitch and playing 90. And I’m happy with the win. I think that it was a tough game and we've seen other teams struggle a little bit playing here. So, it’s nice to get the result.
**Laia on six straight wins and building momentum...**
LC: 100% and now we just need to keep going, because I think that we can continue to keep getting better, which is the best thing and it's the best way to keep going and keep winning.
**Katie on little time to recover before Liverpool**
KR: I feel like we've got to build from this game, take the confidence. I feel like there was a lot of rotation today. So, that should build confidence within the team. We're going to recover as best as possible so that we'll be ready for Sunday.
**Laia on the travelling support...**
LC: That was impressive. That was amazing from the fans. They're always on our side, but I think that today it was even better. We ended the game and after five minutes I was already freezing and they've been there for more than 90 minutes. So, a big thank you for how they have been with us the whole season and I hope that we can deliver more wins for them.
