Arsenal defeated Chelsea 3-1 in an exciting Women's League Cup final at Selhurst Park on Saturday, March 16th. The victory marks Arsenal's first major trophy since 2019.

Chelsea started the match brightly and took the lead through a header from Sam Kerr in the 20th minute. However, Arsenal rallied back and equalized just before halftime through a penalty from Vivianne Miedema. The Gunners then took the lead in the second half with a stunning strike from Stina Blackstenius and sealed the victory with a late goal from Frida Maanum.

The win is a major boost for Arsenal, who have struggled for consistency in recent seasons. Manager Jonas Eidevall hailed his team's performance as a "statement of intent." Chelsea, on the other hand, will be disappointed to have lost their unbeaten run in the Women's Super League, but they remain top of the table and are still on course to win the league title.
