Chelsea regained the leadership by beating Reading 5-0 later on Sunday.

"What Chelsea do doesn't matter at all," Eidevall said on BBC Two.

"We can prepare for the games we are playing, we can control our own performances. I'm just as motivated if we're on top at the moment or if we're number two.

"We need to keep on believing, keep on preparing, keep on performing, and who knows where it takes us in the end. But we can only do whatever we can do."

Beth Mead opened the scoring in the first half with a volley before Arsenal ran riot after the break at the King Power Stadium.

Vivianne Miedema swept home a second and stabbed in a third before Ashleigh Plumptre turned a cross into her own net.

Tobin Heath bundled in a fifth late on to complete the perfect response to Arsenal's 2-0 defeat at Wolfsburg in midweek, which saw them exit the Champions League at the quarter-final stage with a 3-1 aggregate loss.

That means their focus can now switch to winning their first WSL title since 2018-19, and they made a statement to Chelsea with a resounding win.

Four of Arsenal's goals came in the second half

"We have shown during the season that we're a very strong side," Eidevall said. "We score a lot of goals, we concede few goals - it's a very good recipe for winning football matches. We will believe in ourselves."

Arsenal could have won by an even bigger margin, but Esmee de Graaf produced a stunning goal-line clearance from Mead's shot early in the second half.

The size of the victory was also a boost for the Gunners' title hopes if goal difference comes into play.

"We needed that after Thursday night," said goalscorer Miedema. "But we just need to win all our games from now on - and hopefully Chelsea slip up and we can win the league."
