Jonas Eidevall refused to take his foot off the throttle in Arsenal’s emphatic 5-0 win over Leicester in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League. Vivianne Miedema’s second-half double helped the Gunners finish with a flourish as Beth Mead, Tobin Heath and an Ashleigh Plumptre own goal capped a comfortable afternoon for the visitors.
Mead got the Gunners off to a flyer in just the second minute but Arsenal had to be patient before Miedema, 25, grabbed the first of her tally on 67 minutes. And Swedish boss Eidevall, whose side temporarily leapfrogged Chelsea – who play Reading on Sunday evening – at the summit of the FA WSL, said: “It was important for us to play with energy.
“We just talked through all the details and also making sure we kept attacking. There was no way were we going to sit back, no way were we going to be passive, so we had to keep attacking.
