Anna Patten’s Villa drew 2-2 with Leicester City this afternoon.

All eyes were on Ireland’s new recruit as her Aston Villa side drew 2-2 with Leicester City in the Women’s Super League this afternoon.

“Anna wold be a great addition to the squad,” Gleeson said. “Playing at a really high level. Strong, competitive, good pathway. She can bring a lot of good characteristics to our team.” “Will she make Ireland better? 100%. “I’ve had many talks over periods of time around her decision and honestly, you’re getting a top player right there. I think the Irish will absolutely love her.”Patten lined out in her usual right-sided centre-back position, and stepped up with a sliding clearance inside the opening minute. Her next involvement was a brave header as she beat Lena Petermann’s high boot to the ball inside the box to win a free-kick.

She made no such mistake the second time around.Yuka Momiki scored Leicester’s first goal through her legs, two minutes after the opener. It was more so a case of an excellent finish than particularly poor defending, but Patten will still be disappointed with the concession.— Barclays Women's Super League March 30, 2024 Leicester’s 56th-minute lead goal was dispiriting, too.
