We secured our first win of 2023 and booked our place in the semi-finals of the Conti Cup on Thursday night as we defeated Aston Villa 3-0.
Frida Maanum delivered an outstanding individual performance and scored twice on the night, while three January signings featured to make their debuts for the club.
What happened
Despite making four changes to the side that held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at Emirates Stadium, Jonas Eidevall’s side made a fast start and tested Hannah Hampton early on.
Lina Hurtig’s driven effort was saved and Maanum fizzed an effort wide of the post, before the Norway international opened the scoring in spectacular fashion.
