• England 8 90 | Williamson 85
A tap-in from Chelsea’s Beth England for her second goal of the final snatched the Continental League Cup trophy from Arsenal at the death, after Leah Williamson looked to have exorcised the ghost of her missed penalty in last season’s shootout by equalising in the 85th minute. Instead it was devastation for Arsenal on the final whistle, though they may take a little consolation from the words of the opposing manager.
Emma Hayes said: “The better team did not win the game; the most resilient team won the game, and I value defending, and I value resilience.”
