'She just had a complete performance,' said the FC Zurich defender after the UEFA Nations League victory over Albania
New Ireland centurion Diane Caldwell hailed Katie McCabe's "complete performance" as the Arsenal star made it a night to remember against Albania.
"I’ve been involved with the team since Katie started playing for Ireland and you’ve just seen her grow within that time. It was a special night for Caldwell, 35, who made her senior Ireland debut against Denmark in 2006 as a 17-year-old. "Obviously it was a nice gesture by Katie to give me the captain's armband and leading out the team with my niece and nephew was really special.
“I do," she said. "I obviously think with all the changes of staff and everything, it just seems like the start of a new dawn and it’s just really exciting right now. "I’ve already achieved that now in the summer, and what can we go on now and do? Can we cause more upsets and qualify continuously for tournaments? I definitely think that's within the capabilities of this group.
