Euro 2025: Stina Blackstenius scores as Sweden cruise to knockout stages

Blackstenius and former Arsenal forward Lina Hurtig both netted headers against Poland




Arsenal’s Champions League final hero Stina Blackstenius continued her goalscoring form to help Sweden through to the Euro 2025 knockout stages.

Some clever movement and a well-placed header from Blackstenius gave Sweden the lead against Poland after 27 minutes in Lucerne.

Kosovare Asllani and former Gunner Lina Hurtig, who joined Fiorentina earlier this summer, also netted headers to seal a dominant win.

Blackstenius should have found the net more on the night, registering nine shots in total in a lively display upfront.

Sweden will face Germany on Saturday, with the two sides both comfortably through to the quarter-finals after two matches. Germany beat Denmark 2-1 on Tuesday evening.

The Gooner understands Arsenal players not involved in the tournament will return to London Colney for the start of pre-season next week.
