Renee Slegers was ‘really happy’ with the Arsenal performance against Leicester

Renee Slegers spoke about an emphatic 4-1 victory for **Arsenal**away at Leicester.

The Gunners grabbed their goals through a brace from Stina Blackstenius, the opener from Alessia Russo, and an own goal from Sari Kees. They could not keep a clean sheet for the third game in a row, but the players have returned from international break in the right mood to maintain standards.

"Very happy with the three points, I think we had two days to get back to training from the international break and a lot of well invested time, together as players both on and off the pitch

“We had some new partnerships on the pitch today as well so that needs to click but I think it did really well, especially in the first half.

*"The way we do things in possession made it hard for Leicester, but you'd have to ask them. We had quality, we had intent, we had tempo and a lot of fluidity in the way we moved and attacked spaces.*

"I saw a lot of players playing on a really high level and to their strengths so that was good. I'm really happy with the game and three points to start this block.

"Credit to the players. Even though you haven't started much or haven't played much, you'll always need to be ready and the players were ready today. It shows how much they've invested and how hard they've worked in the background so I'm really happy.

"Very important (to respond), I think that as well today the goals that we score in the first half, we score in moments that we are dominant and that's important for us but then also I thought there was so much strength.

"We conceded one goal but then, like you said, a minute after that we score again, so I'm really happy with a lot of things. Today was, it always is, but today you could see that it was a real team performance with different players contributing today, so I'm really happy.

"On top of that we spoke about what we want to feed to each other and the energy that we want to bring, but also always staying connected to the fans and representing what Arsenal and the fans as well and what they want to see and I think that we showed some really good football, the Arsenal way and the fans were fantastic today. Hopefully we fed them, but definitely they are feeding us."
