Jonas Eidevall believes Australian winger Caitlin Foord has shown herself to be a "key player" for his Arsenal side ahead of the season run-in.
Arsenal's forward line have struggled to cope with the loss of Beth Mead and Viv Miedema in recent months, their absence hitting home in a goalless draw with West Ham last month that saw the Gunners drop crucial points in the race for the title. But Foord and central striker Stina Blackstenius were both excellent in a win over Chelsea on Sunday.
Arsenal secured the first silverware of the domestic season, when beating the Blues 3-1 at Selhurst Park in the League Conti Cup final and now return to WSL action only days later when hosting Liverpool, looking to maintain their title challenge. The Conti Cup success was the first winners medal at Arsenal for both Foord and Eidevall, with the Gunners reserving praise for his forward, who repeatedly stretched Chelsea's wide defenders all afternoon.
