Marc Skinner hailed Katie Zelem as a ‘genius’ after the in-form midfielder scored twice direct from corners in a 4-0 win over Leicester City. Zelem’s brace, which came in the space of four second-half minutes, backed up earlier goals from Martha Thomas and Alessia Russo and helped the hosts rise to third in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League.
Skinner was full of praise for the England international and believes this performance is the latest step in her fulfilling her sky-high potential. “It’s the genius of Katie,” he said. “She has the wonderful ability to put the ball wherever she needs to put it.
“It’s a really brilliant trait that she can work on as she can be one of the best in the league – if not, the best. “It was, in my opinion, a dominant performance.
