Arsenal Women beat Everton with 93rd-minute Stina Blackstenius winner

Stina Blackstenius scored a dramatic 93rd-minute winner to secure a 1-0 victory for Arsenal against a resilient Everton side in the Women’s Super League.

The Swedish international broke the deadlock deep into stoppage time to cruelly break Toffees’ hearts.

Arsenal had dominated possession throughout the contest but consistently struggled to find a way past a stubborn visiting defence.

Everton appeared completely on course to secure a hard-fought point before a final attacking wave allowed the hosts to snatch all three points.

Gunners persist to secure vital points

This crucial result firmly maintains the pressure on the leading pack at the top of the domestic table.

Jonas Eidevall’s team knew that dropping points at this stage of the campaign would severely dent their ongoing title aspirations.

The North London outfit continually pressed forward relentlessly as the referee’s watch ticked past the standard 90-minute mark.

Heartbreak for resolute visitors

Everton will feel immensely frustrated to travel back up north empty-handed after defending heroically for the vast majority of the fixture.

The Merseyside club had successfully nullified their heavily favoured opponents but ultimately surrendered their hard-earned clean sheet in the dying seconds.

Brian Sorensen’s squad must now quickly regroup as they look to climb away from the lower reaches of the division in their upcoming matches.
