With a spot in the fifth round all but confirmed, the highlight of the day came from Las, with one of the last pieces of action at Meadow Lane.

Stepping past her defender, she rifled an effort into the back of the Potters' net to etch herself onto the scoresheet for the first time in her short, yet promising, career with Leicester City.

Speaking at full-time in Nottingham, she was ecstatic to achieve such an important milestone, and doing it in front of friends and family made it even more important.

Celebrating a first goal for Leicester.

"I feel amazing," Las stated. "It's a dream come true since I was a little girl; I've always wanted to score a goal for the First Team so it feels extra special to have my family in the stands watching.

"It's up there as one of the best moments of my career so far. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season and hopefully getting more goals.

"My family have helped me to progress so I'm thankful for their support and proud of myself for showing what I can do."

The young Fox has made six appearances for the First Team this season.

Having made six appearances in all competitions this season, the young Lioness is relishing the chance to get on the pitch and help the team in any way possible, and is thankful for the trust Amandine Miquel has placed in her to perform.

Talking about her targets for the rest of the season, Las hopes the New Year can continue in similar fashion to how it has started.

"It means so much to get as many minutes as I can," she continued. "Whether that's 30, 20 or even a couple at the end of games; it means the world to me so I'm ready to keep learning and trusting the Manager.

"One of my biggest targets is just to get minutes in the WSL, and hopefully work my way up to getting more regular minutes. A start would cap it all off as well."
