Johanna Rytting Kaneryd glad to be back on the score sheet | News | Official Website

Johanna Rytting Kaneryd was happy to be back on the score as her goal against West Ham United put Blues on her way to a record-breaking sixth consecutive Women’s League Cup final.

The Swedish edge fired Sonia Bompastor’s side into the lead after 20 minutes on Kingsmeadow with a fantastic right -footed strike from a tight angle inside the box. SJOEEKE NIMKEN then doubled our advantage with a composite finish nine minutes later.

Riding Kaneryd’s goal was her fifth of the season in all competitions and her first since the beginning of December when we defeated Brighton & Hove Albion in Women’s Super League.

“It’s been a lot of hard work behind the scenes,” Ridting Kanered said. “I have especially worked a lot to finish and do a lot of extra work.

‘One of my goals this season was to score more and get more assists. I’m in a good way, but it’s been a long time since I scored so I was happy about it. ‘

On his goal, Ridting Kanered continued: ‘I saw the opportunity to take an extra touch, and sometimes you have to take it even if you are in the box. I saw some space, took a touch and it was about getting the goal.

“I had another option in the second half where I took two touches and it probably wasn’t the right decision, but sometimes you just have to be calm in these situations and I did at least at least, so I am happy to. ‘

The 2-0 win over Hammers secured our place in a sixth consecutive League Cup final, and we face either Arsenal or Manchester City in Pride Park on March 15.

Ridthing Kaneryd believes that the troop has an extra edge this season that can help us demand victory where blues have missed the League Cup Glory in the previous three seasons.

“I’m very happy to be in a final,” Ridting Kaneryd said. “It’s one of our goals this season. This year we have something extra in this team and in this team. ‘
