Arsenal star Catlin Foord praised teammate Stina Blackstenius for her opening goal against Tottenham on Saturday afternoon.
The Sweden international put the Gunners in front after five minutes at Brisbane Road, before Foord herself also got on the scoresheet just before the half-hour mark. Spurs pulled one back on the brink of half-time through a Bethany England penalty, but Arsenal comfortably regained control in the second half.
Kim Little slotted home from the penalty spot before Foord got her second of the game. Frida Maanum then made it five late on, but it was the strike from Blackstenius that stood out.

"I think Stina's one (was impressive)," Foord told Sky Sports post-match. "For her to see the keeper out and finish that off. Quality from her and I probably wouldn't even think to shoot from there. All credit to her for that goal."
Saturday's victory over Spurs keeps them within touching distance at the top of the table as Jonas Eidevall's side will hope to add to their trophy haul this season following their Conti Cup triumph earlier this month.
"We know we have a big stretch ahead," Foord continued. "We need to win games and we obviously want to fight for the league, there's the Champions League to focus on too.
"I think we're playing really well at the moment and we want to keep building on that."
Arsenal currently have a one-goal deficit going into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash against Bayern Munich midweek. Lea Schuller's first half effort separates the two sides going into the meeting at the Emirates midweek.
In the league, Eidevall's side take on Manchester City next weekend in a bid to keep the pace at the top of the table. Tottenham, on the other hand, remain at risk of being dragged further into the relegation scrap following this weekend's result and will hope to turn it around next time out against Everton.
