Caitlin Foord, Steph Catley and Kyra Cooney-Cross made a big impact after coming on late in Arsenal’s extra-time victory over Chelsea. Elsewhere, it was a huge night in the English Premier League title race.
Arsenal’s trio of Matildas helped the side defend the women’s League Cup, defeating a Chelsea team that sorely missed Sam Kerr’s big-game goal-scoring habit in the final at Molineux.
Maanum recovered, the game resumed and penalties were looming when Catley and Foord linked up once more on the left flank. Catley released Foord, who cut inside in trademark style and passed to Stina Backstenius. The Swedish star took a touch and fired home the match winner. The disagreement was caused by Eidevall taking exception to Chelsea using an alternative ball for a quick throw-in late in the game when they had insisted pre-match on not using a multi-ball system.
City had scored in 47 consecutive league games at Etihad Stadium before coming up against Arsenal’s mighty defensive effort on Sunday. Mikel Arteta’s side held them scoreless at the ground for the first time in the league since they were beaten 2-0 by Crystal Palace in October 2021.
