Kathleen McGovern is “delighted” to have defeated Motherwell at Meadowbank Stadium after a tricky start to the match.
The in-form forward netted the Hibees’ third of the afternoon on 82 minutes - with Siobhan Hunter sealing three points just minutes later by netting a fourth Hibernian goal.
Eilidh Adams had opened the scoring in the first half, before Rosie Livingstone sent Hibs on their way with a goal immediately after the second half restart.
“We knew it wasn’t good enough in the first half,” McGovern admitted to Hibs TV.
“We just had to keep prodding away. I thought in the second half, as soon as we kicked off, we were flying.
“Rosie scored very early on which just gave us that boost.
“I felt after that we really kicked on. We changed a bit of shape.
“We got [Hunter] and [Papadopoulos] on and, after that, we looked comfortable in the 4-4-3. I’m delighted to win 4-0.”
While the entire team struggled to perform at maximum capacity in the first 45, McGovern admits she was personally vexed by her own performance until she found the net late on.
Her tidy finish takes her to 18 for the campaign so far and keeps her level with strike partner Eilidh Adams at the top of the club goalscoring chart.
“I was a bit frustrated to start with.
“I felt the goal wasn’t going to come. I hit the post just before it.
“It was a great pass by Paps and I’m just happy to have put it away.”
