Steph Catley and Caitlin Foord’s Arsenal overcame an early Sam Kerr goal to lift the English Continental League Cup with a 3-1 win at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
Catley and Foord both played full games as the Gunners snapped their recent poor form and ended a four-year wait for silverware.
Kerr had put the Blues ahead with a second-minute header, but the Gunners produced a strong display and were deserved winners.
Foord put in a determined display down the flanks, while Kerr was dangerous and lively throughout but unable to lift Chelsea, who also lost the cup final last season.
Remy Siemsen scored on her Leicester City debut as the Foxes were beaten 5-1 by Manchester United in the English Women’s Super League on Sunday.
Siemsen, who left Sydney FC to sign with the Foxes in January, netted in the 48th minute to make it 2-1, firing home from the edge of the box.
Courtney Nevin put in a full shift for Leicester while Siemsen started and played 55 minutes.
