A blistering attacking display helped Arsenal topple Chelsea in a thrilling Continental Tyres League Cup Final in front of a record crowd of just over 19,000 at Selhurst Park.
Arsenal went into Sunday's clash bidding to win their first trophy in almost four years; the Gunners having failed to come out on top in any of their last five meetings with Emma Hayes' side. Chelsea, meanwhile, took to the field hoping to keep their Quadruple hopes alive and searching for their third Conti Cup title in just four seasons.
Jonas Eidevall made one change from the side that was beaten 2-0 by Chelsea in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup, with Noelle Maritz coming in for Laura Wienroither, while Hayes stuck with the same starting XI that triumphed at Kingsmeadow.
