Manchester City produced a stunning second-half comeback to win the Continental Cup final and continue their remarkable run of form in a season that may still have some life in it.
Trailing at the break and left to rue an awful refereeing decision, City must have felt it was a case of de ja vu as they were staring at a fourth defeat to Chelsea this season. But Caroline Weir inspired a brilliant turnaround to give City an eighth trophy in as many years in the women's game.
With City's men looking for a derby win over United on Sunday, the women ensured they begin this weekend in winning fashion with three goals in 20 second-half minutes. After coming up second best to Chelsea so often recently and in various heartbreaking circumstances, this win will be so much sweeter given their struggles on and off the pitch this season. Against the side that torments them so often, City showed the country they are firmly back on track.
