Gotham FC's recent success is no surprise to Lynn Williams | OneFootball

Gotham FC forward Lynn Williams is not surprised at her team's strong start to the NWSL season as they currently are tied for first in the table.

Gotham dismantled OL Reign 4-1 in what was a surprising victory for some but not for Lynn Williams. Williams scored on her 30th birthday as Gotham jumped up to first in the NWSL standings.

When asked if she was surprised that Gotham were able to put three past OL Reign in the first half, Williams responded, "not surprised at all, I feel like everybody else is surprised, but we’re not."

Going into the game, Williams and Gotham took note of how commentators and announcers were explaining that OL Reign could go top of the table, but they didn't say the same for Gotham despite it being possible. Williams went into further detail on the Snacks podcast.

"We were like, 'We’re tied on points. We can go to the top of the table if we beat them. So it was like: Why is everybody so high on OL and not us" she stated.

"We obviously have a lot of season to play and stuff, but I said this in a lot of interviews that our coaching staff has made it like we’re gonna celebrate the moments. Because I think in sports you don’t really get to, you just look to the next one. So we’re just gonna celebrate being in first right now and hopefully it stays that way."

Gotham FC has collected 16 points from eight games played and have their sights set on Sunday when they hit the road to take on the Washington Spirit.
