The midfielder played the full 90 minutes in Monza, assisting City’s opening goal in a standout performance.
Her brave, forward-thinking ball was what set Aoba Fujino away through on goal to find the back of the net, just minutes before the Japan international added a second.
Blindkilde Brown was delighted to see the Blues pick up an important three points, and believes it’s an indication of how we’re enjoying the packed fixture schedule.
“We’re really happy, because we really needed the three points to bring us up the table,” Blindkilde Brown said after the game.
“We’ve had some tough results in the last few games, but this was a great result.
“We’re getting more used to it now [playing in Europe]. Obviously, it’s midweek games and WSL games so it is a big load, but I think we’re getting used to it, and I think that’s showing in our game.”
Blindkilde Brown’s incisive pass for Fujino was what City needed to breach a stubborn Inter defence, opening up our opponents and lighting the blue touch paper.
And the England international was delighted to see something the pair work on week in, week out at the training ground bear fruit.
She added: “In training, I always see Aoba running, and I always say sorry to her if I don’t pass her the ball.
“So, this time I saw her make the run and thought I would play it, and luckily it got through, and it was a brilliant finish.”
“She’s really hard on herself when she doesn’t get goals.
“She doesn’t look at her [whole] performance when she doesn’t get goals, but she is so good.
“So for her to get goals is really good for her.”
