Women’s Super League: talking points from the weekend’s action
Arsenal cruised to victory over Brighton on Sunday night, inspired by the attacking flair of the duo now fondly known as Viv-stenius. The arrival of Stina Blackstenius in the winter transfer window has allowed the prolific Vivianne Miedema to drop into a traditional No 10 role.
Having a focal point to aim at has allowed the Dutch star to show off her array of playmaking attributes. It would not work, however, without Blackstenius up front.
The partnership they have built in such a short time is remarkable and the Swedish goalscorer added two to her tally on Sunday. Arsenal are now unbeaten in nine in all competitions.
With a significant fortnight ahead and the resumption of their Champions League campaign, the form of their flair players will be key to any success. SD
