Blackstenius scores controversial late winner for Arsenal against Everton

Stina Blackstenius scored a controversial stoppage-time winner for Arsenal to claim a 1-0 Women's Super League victory over Everton.

The Gunners had been frustrated three times by the crossbar throughout the game, with Beth Mead rattling the woodwork twice on her final appearance at the Emirates Stadium before leaving the club, along with an effort from Olivia Smith.

However, in the third minute of added time, Blackstenius found the bottom corner to lift Renee Segers' side into second place with one more game remaining.

The goal was clouded by controversy after Lotte Wubben-Moy flicked the ball on for Leah Williamson from an offside position and the situation was then compounded by the Arsenal defender barging into Everton goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan shortly after.

As a result of the impact with Williamson, Brosnan was left on the ground and out of her goal, allowing Blackstenius to sweep home her effort to secure the win.

"I would be fuming. This is hard. It is difficult to see but Wubben-Moy is offside, it is tight but I expect the lineswoman to make that decision.

"That is the first phase. Leah Williamson is not offside but this [the contact on Brosnan] is offside; it is a clear and obvious foul on the goalkeeper. It is a late challenge.

"Brilliant finish from Blackstenius, of course. But it is a really difficult decision for Everton to digest."
