An intense Conti Cup final saw Arsenal emerge victorious with a 1-0 win over Chelsea, securing the title for the second consecutive year. The decisive goal came in extra time courtesy of forward Stina Blackstenius, dashing Chelsea's hopes of a quadruple and denying Emma Hayes a dream send-off in her final season at the club.
The match was momentarily halted in the closing stages of the second half when Arsenal midfielder Frida Maanum collapsed on the field, requiring medical attention and being carried off on a stretcher. Fortunately, reports indicate that Maanum is conscious, talking, and in a stable condition as she continues to receive medical care.
