Blindkilde Brown: I’m learning from Yui every day | OneFootball

Laura Blindkilde Brown says she is learning from 'one of the best teachers around' in Yui Hasegawa as City claimed a 1-0 win over West Ham at the Joie Stadium.

Andrée Jeglertz’s side came away with all three points and a well earned clean sheet at the Joie Stadium, as we extended our unbeaten run to eight games in all competitions.

Aoba Fujino’s 26th-minute strike helped us record our fifth home win in a row as we lie just one point off top spot.

City had to battle for the win, with Blindkilde Brown and Hasegawa once again playing an important role in the enging room alongside the Japan international.

She says she’s learning from the best every day and that we can use today’s performance as motivation going into Everton.

“I’ve been really enjoying it at the moment [playing under Andree] I’m just trying to take it game by game and there’s still a lot of things for me to improve on and I’m learning from Yui every day, so she’s one of the best teachers around,” she added.

“It’s just about seeing if we can put the game to bed earlier, we had a lot of chances that we could’ve scored from and we could’ve won the game earlier, so probably trying to just take that into next week.”

West Ham certainly didn’t make things easy for us at the Joie Stadium though, and Blindkilde Brown explained the importance of both digging deep to preserve the win and also keeping a clean sheet for the first time this season.

“I think it was a tough battle, but we managed to get the three points in the end and that’s all that matters,” she said.

“I think we have struggled in the past with keeping a clean sheet so to do that today was really important for us and we’re really glad that we did.

“I think we just take every game by game and we try and just focus on the game individually and I think that’s what we’ve been doing so far, but we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves.

“I think that’s what’s so special about our team, we grind out wins no matter what it is, I think we could’ve put the game to bed maybe a bit earlier, but we still managed to defend the win, so that was all that was important.”
