Not a bad way to introduce yourself, really.
Putellas admitted the WSL's physicality is a different beast. She was pleased with the result but candid about the work ahead, stressing that both she and the squad need to sharpen up as the season rolls on.
Manager Eder Maestre was beaming. Several players were making their first competitive appearances for the club, yet the team looked cohesive from the off. He singled out Putellas for the standards and leadership she has already injected into the dressing room, Goal reports.
London City Lionesses now turn their attention to a WSL clash with West Ham this weekend. If Putellas keeps this up, the Lionesses could be the season's surprise package.
