WHAT LEAH WILLIAMSON SAID
Speaking to , the 27-year-old said: "I think it’s been great. I suppose we’ve both been around for a while now, so we just play to each other’s strengths. Steph’s a solid player; it’s nice whenever you play next to a centre-back that can cover you as well. It allows you to be front-footed and play like that, so it’s been good.
"We actually have a joke about our communication because we talk to each other way too much. But like I say, Steph’s an unbelievable player, she’s made my life easy."
