AIK women crush Djurgården 3–0 behind Junetoft's derby magic

Derby demolition: AIK 3–0 Djurgården

Your AIK women's team absolutely rolled over Djurgården in the Damallsvenskan derby Saturday, with 17-year-old supertalent Ellie Junetoft stealing the show. Junetoft scored and then delivered a goal celebration straight to veteran Linda Sembrant's heart, Sembrant had asked her before the match to dedicate any goal to her, and Junetoft delivered. "It was her idea, but I got really fired up. Of course I'm going to do this for Linda," Junetoft said afterwards (1). Olivia Garcia also found the net as AIK cruised to a commanding 3–0 win (2) (3). The result keeps AIK sitting third in the table, and on this form, they look like genuine contenders.
