GOAL! Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea (Yep 2). Sam Kerr scores against Arsenal again!

We want to compete on all fronts and this gives us a chance to build towards the end of the season with a trophy under our belt. If Arsenal are to win their first trophy since 2019, and the first under Jonas Eidevall, who better to do it against? Perisset’s cross from the right wasn’t properly cleared, with Cuthbert efficiently collecting the loose ball and and finding Reiten on the other side of the area. Maanum still got away a shot of sorts, which ricocheted off Eriksson and into the path of Blacksteinus, unmarked 12 yards out. She ran to within 25 yards of goal and was about to shoot when Kerr challenged her from behind. 23 min McCabe slips Ingle just inside the area and goes over, and Arsenal have a penalty! Blackstenius was fouled by Eriksson near the halfway line, and Little took the free-kick instantly to release Maanum. Maanum’s clever header releases McCabe, who is just beaten to the bouncing ball on the edge of the area by Berger. They both go down, with McCabe holding her head, but it looked like a really good – and brave – bit of goalkeeping. McCabe kicked Berger in the chest and, though she was going for the ball, you can understand why a yellow card was dhown. Stina Blackstenius equalised after a quickly taken free-kick, a symbol of Arsenal’s tempo in the first half, and then Kim Little scored emphatically from the spot after Katie McCabe tricked Sophie Ingle into a loose challenge. Then she curls a terrific cross to the far post, where Kerr heads wide under pressure from Catley.

Arsenal Women won their 1st trophy since 2019 by coming from behind to beat London rivals Chelsea 3-1 at Selhurst Park in the 2023 FA Women's League Cup ...

Chelsea were beaten 3-1 by Arsenal in the Continental Tyres League Cup Final at Selhurst Park.

Looked bright early on but didn't see much of the ball in the first half. Better after the break but nowhere near her usual level. Some buccaneering runs down the left flank early on but faded as the game went on. Subbed at the break. Looked more solid with Kadeisha Buchanan beside her after the Canada international came on just before half-time. Did well to command her area amid a flurry of early corners.

Arsenal come from behind to beat Chelsea in the Continental League Cup final and win their first trophy in four years.

After years of waning, Arsenal looked like their former selves in the Conti Cup final against a Chelsea team that had long overshadowed them.

There is nothing to say the floodgates will open for Arsenal and they'll consistently be able to score over the rest of the season in the league and in Europe, with a two-legged tie against Bayern Munich at the end of the month. For all of the meetings between these two teams -- be they league games or cup finals -- Sunday's match began to take on the complexion of the 2020 Conti Cup final when Chelsea claimed the trophy in their first league cup final. Making matters worse, Arsenal had to face Chelsea, of all teams, in the Conti Cup final: the Gunners hadn't beaten Chelsea in their previous five meetings (three losses and two draws), and it was Chelsea who had repeatedly tormented the Gunners in big games. Even as Arsenal began to fade in and out throughout the WSL seasons, buzzing near the top of the table but consistently struggling to make a real fist of a charge for the title, the Gunners were steadfast in their cup performances. Coming into Sunday's 2022-23 league cup final -- officially the Continental Tyres League Cup, or Conti Cup for short -- Arsenal were in a sorry state by their own standards. Regardless of new up-and-comers arriving, the Gunners were consistent in their ability to deal with any challengers and when it came to domestic silverware and few could deny the only British women's team to win a UEFA title (the UEFA Women's Cup in 2006-07).
