Eidevall on Blackstenius' goalscoring form

With 13 goals to her name, Stina Blackstenius has scored more goals than any other Arsenal player this season.

The Sweden international has been in fine goalscoring form in 2023/24, despite starting just nine fixtures, and on Wednesday night she netted a first-half hat-trick against Aston Villa to book our place in the final of the FA Women's Continental League Cup. 

"I’ve been really really impressed by Stina because she’s making the most of the minutes that she’s playing," said Jonas Eidevall during our post-match interview. 

"I mean, that’s always the story for any football player. What people are going to remember is the minutes that you play and I’m so pleased for her, but also for her mentality because I think it comes from her application daily in training. 

"She’s so focused, she keeps on working hard every single day in training and then of course, when the opportunities come, you’re ready as well and she was that once again today. It's very, very nice to see."
