Arsenal winger Beth Mead praised interim manager Renée Slegers for instilling new confidence in the side in the wake of their 5-0 win over Brighton in the Women's Super League (WSL) last Friday.
It marked Arsenal's most convincing scoreline of the season thus far and extended Slegers' unbeaten run as interim manager to four games.

After scoring her second goal of the WSL campaign, Mead lauded the Dutch coach and the "easy transition" to her leadership.
"We've obviously worked with Renee for quite a while now in different roles to what she's in now, but I think she's took like a duck to water. It's been an easy transition for us and the group," Mead told a news conference on Monday.
"We know what she gives us, the confidence she gives us. We're playing good football, so I think as individuals and as a collective, we're very happy with what Renee's doing for us right now.
"She deserves the credit for making us feel good and the performances that have been coming on the pitch as well."
Slegers has not confirmed if she is interested in taking the role in a permanent capacity and has insisted she is focused on the present.
It has been confirmed that she will remain in charge for three more games ahead of the next international break, including a key Champions League clash with Juventus on Tuesday and the North London Derby against Tottenham on Saturday.
The club's search for a new manager is underway; however, prime target and former City manager Nick Cushing ruled himself out of the running last week, meaning Slegers could be in charge until the end of the calendar year.
