Ladd: I can't believe it!
Debutant and matchwinner Hayley Ladd gave her thoughts to the media after she scored the late winner in Palace's 1-0 triumph over Sheffield United.
It was Ladd's free-kick on 86 minutes that made the difference at Bramall Lane, after a resolute Sheffield United frustrated Palace for much of the game.
After coming on at half-time, Ladd stepped up to the free-kick and whipped the ball into the top corner beyond Sian Rogers.
She spoke to the media at full-time, and gave her thoughts on a memorbale debut for the club.
"Yeah, I can't believe it, to be fair!
"I'm really happy that we got the three points - I think it was hard-fought in the end, I think we did deserve it so I am just happy that we got it over the line and we're going back to London with three points," Ladd said.
Ladd only signed for Palace on Sunday, joining the club from Women's Super League side Everton.
She spoke about the move down to London from Liverpool, and the warm welcome she has received at the club.
Ladd said: "Yeah, it's been a bit of a whirlwind few days, but everyone's settled me in so well, they're so welcoming and I've just loved being part of it, even though it has been only a few days."
Next up for Palace is Chelsea in the Adobe Women's FA Cup on Saturday, a game that Ladd and the team are determined to give their all in.
She said: "We knew that the Sheffield game would be such a massive one, so now we have ticked that off, we will start prepping and give it all we got."
