Women’s League Cup semi-final: Arsenal 1-2 Man CityGareth Taylor praised the character of his Manchester City side after Mary Fowler’s late strike in a thrilling chess match of a game against Arsenal earned them a place in the League Cup final, where they will play Chelsea, and the chance to win a first trophy since 2022.
