Blackstenius has not been able to do it either in Arsenal or in the Swedish national team this spring. When she rolled in 2–0 in the 16th minute against Leicester on Tuesday evening, it was the 29-year-old's first goal, including all competitive matches, since the beginning of February.
A relief, of course, and in the same breath, she also played Caitlin Foord forward to 3–0 before the half-time was over and thus laid the foundation for a clear home win for Arsenal.
The London team won 5–1 in the end – Amanda Ilestedt was substituted in the second half, Rosa Kafaji remained on the bench – and thus puts some pressure on the hitherto unbeaten league leader Chelsea.
Three points separate them. Arsenal has three matches left to play, Chelsea has four.
