Uchenna Kanu the heroine as Linkopings shock Evelyn Ijeh's Hackens

Uchenna Kanu netted the winner for Linkopings as they beat Evelyn Ijeh's Hackens 1-0 in their Swedish Damallsvenskan tie on Saturday.

The Nigeria international had continued from where she left off last season, inspiring Andree Jeglertz's side to its first win of the season following a 2-1 triumph against AIK the last time out.

Despite a 5-2 Cup loss to Ijeh's Hackens last month, Kanu made her mark, getting on the scoresheet and she was handed her third starting role and made a huge contribution at Bravida Arena.
