Jonas Eidevall has backed Stina Blackstenius in Arsenal's forward role after the Sweden international’s extra-time goal lifted the Gunners into the Conti Cup final over Manchester City.
Heading into Wednesday night’s semi-final, Blackstenius had experienced a tough few weeks. Rumoured to be offered as one of the many means to pry Alessia Russo from Manchester United, the striker’s killer instinct had evaded her in recent big matches.
In the goalless draw against West Ham, Blackstenius spurned a number of quality chances and looked destined to have another difficult night after arriving from the bench in the 65th minute against City and quickly wasting a chance.
