Albion sealed their place in the next round of the Women's FA Cup on Sunday.

Jens Scheuer was delighted as his team secured their place in the next round of the Vitality Women's FA Cup following a 7-0 win against West Bromwich Albion at Keys Park. 

Seven goals and six goalscorers gave us more than enough to progress into the fifth round.

“I think we did well and we created a lot of chances. The girls showed me the right signs that they want to adapt," the head coach said.

“It’s always good when you start a game with a goal, especially with the pitch conditions. We started well."

This is the German's third competitive fixture since his appointment at the end of last year and the boss insists he's starting to see his team come to fruition.

Scheuer reflects on a dominant victory

“I’m really happy that we are going into dangerous areas; we had some great opportunities, especially in the first half.

"We have to work on some things and we know that but I’m satisfied with the performance of the team."

Jens believes the positive result will encourage the confidence within the squad to grow.

“You get more self-confidence with each win. The victory was important for us and so were the seven goals.

"I think the self-confidence is coming back and I can see it. We’re taking steps in the right direction and I could see that last week against West Ham.

"It’s now another step and that makes me very happy. We have great players but we have to work on our fitness levels for the style that we want to play – that’s what I expect from the girls.

"Everyone is willing and I’m very happy to be the coach of this team."
