“It’s always fun to score goals. It was a good performance today. We wanted to score more goals but it was a good win and that’s the most important thing.”
Occupying the full-back role, Blakstad combined well with second goalscorer Lauren Hemp and says she is enjoying bedding into City’s style.
“It’s good,” she reflected. “I had the opportunity to start and I appreciate that, coming more and more into the team. It’s getting better every day and the girls are so kind, which is really nice.
“Lauren is a really good player. It’s easy to find her out there and I enjoy playing with her.
“We just have to keep going. It’s going to be a tough few games. United are just ahead of us. I hope we’re going to beat them in the second half [of the season].
“We’re aiming for [two trophies and a Champions League place]. We have good opportunities. The FA Cup Final is going to be amazing and going to Wembley, we’ll really look forward to that.
“I hope to score more goals!”
