Reaction'It felt amazing' - Marie Höbinger on scoring LFC Women's equaliser v Spurs
Marie Höbinger says Liverpool FC Women's battling point and her late goal against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday left her with an 'amazing' feeling.
The Reds grabbed a dramatic 1-1 draw at Prenton Park in Barclays Women's Super League action, with Höbinger coming off the bench to net in the first minute of second-half added time.
Matt Beard's team had earlier fallen behind to a Celin Bizet opener before fellow substitute Melissa Lawley – who made her 100th appearance for Liverpool – set up Höbinger's well-taken equaliser to secure a point.
"I think it was a bit hard to play today because of the weather conditions... I think we did quite well. It was good that we managed to secure the one point," Höbinger reflected post-match.
"[It was] back and forth. I think the team did very well and it was a good performance.
"It was hard for me to come on, especially because the game was the way it was. I'm just glad I could give something back.
"I'm an attacking midfielder, so I really like to create chances. It's good to score but it's also good if we have a strong offensive game.
"It felt amazing, especially coming from the bench. When we're watching the game, we try to have an impact when we come on. Especially Mel, [it was] a great day for her and she was the one passing me the ball.
"She's a great player. A great person. She's really open and funny off the pitch and that makes her special. On the pitch she's such a good player. She can create from every situation. It's amazing to play in a team with her."
Liverpool ensured they would remain in fifth spot in the league standings thanks to the leveller, holding Spurs behind them on goal difference alone.
"It was very important," the No.14 continued. "But I think every single game is going to be important from now on. They're going to punish every single mistake that we do, so we have to give 100 per cent in every single game and try to stay in front."
Attention will now turn to the fifth round of the Adobe Women's FA Cup, with the Reds travelling to face London City Lionesses on Sunday afternoon.
"It will be completely different," Höbinger said. "It's going to be different. It's a different opponent. We need to focus on different points probably. Hopefully with a big week we can secure the win."
