Jonas Eidevall hailed his squad's competitive nature and warned there is no room for sacred cows as his team gear up for their return to the Women's Super League with Sunday's match against Liverpool.
The Arsenal manager enjoyed the luxury of rotation as his side travelled to Paris to take on defending European champions Olympique Lyon in midweek, with Vivianne Miedema making way for Frida Maanum. The 23-year-old Norwegian international had yet to earn a start this season, racking up a measly 60 minutes across four substitute appearances in all competitions.
Yet, Maanum relished one of her most impressive performances in the Arsenal shirt, grabbing a goal and an assist in Arsenal's 5-1 demolition job of the tournament's most successful side and Eidevall praised Maanum for emphatically seizing her chance, insisting her performance is testament to the success competition within his squad can breed.
