  • Norwegian midfielder Frida Maanum 担架d off but is 'stable and talking'?
  • Chris Sutton: Romelu Lukaku is to 非難する for his Chelsea failings - Listen to It's All Kicking Off?


There is often a question 示す over how much the League Cup means to clubs. In the space of 30 minutes this final went from meaning nothing at all to 絶対 everything and more.

In the 95th minute, 兵器庫 had seen their midfielder, Frida Maanum, 崩壊(する) on the pitch. After a worrying nine-minute 停止, she was 担架d off with an oxygen mask - stable and conscious.

深い into extra-time, Stina Blackstenius won it for 兵器庫 and we saw how much it meant to both 経営者/支配人s as tempers ゆらめくd on the touchline.


Chelsea boss Emma Hayes 押すd her 相当するもの Jonas Eidevall after the Gunners 経営者/支配人 had 前線d up to midfielder Erin Cuthbert in the final seconds.

‘I think there’s a way to 行為/行う yourself on the touchline,’ Hayes said. ‘I’m not 負かす/撃墜する for male 侵略 on the touchline. 前線ing up with players, for me that’s 容認できない. I don’t think it’s okay to behave like that. He got a yellow card and in fact he should probably have been sent off. It’s not the first time he’s been told about his behaviour on the touchline.

Eidevall 答える/応じるd by calling Hayes irresponsible. ‘I don’t think it’s the truth,’ Eidevall said. ‘I definitely don’t see me as 積極的な in that 状況/情勢, I think that’s very irresponsible putting that label の上に it.

‘I think there is definitely a way you behave in the technical area, there is also a way you behave after the game, 存在 a good 勝利者, but you also need to be a good loser and be responsible in both those 状況/情勢s.’

Chelsea had been on course for a quadruple coming into this game. For 兵器庫, this was the only トロフィー they could realistically 勝利,勝つ. The Gunners had won the first league 会合 this season 4-1 but the Blues had come out on 最高の,を越す with a 3-1 victory at Stamford 橋(渡しをする) two weeks earlier.

This time, there was little to choose between both teams. Chelsea did have the ball in the 逮捕する 中途の through the first half but Mayra Ramirez’s strike was 支配するd out by VAR after replays showed Cuthbert had 扱うd in the build-up.

Both teams had one (疑いを)晴らす-削減(する) chance in the second half, with Hannah Hampton saving from Blackstenius before Manuela Zinsberger kept out Lauren James at the other end.

Extra-time was approaching when Maanum 崩壊(する)d off the ball. Eidevall signalled to the medics while Katie McCabe also shouted for attention. Molineux fell silent as paramedics worked on the midfielder for nine minutes in total, before she was 結局 taken off on a 担架 with an oxygen mask.

‘This is probably one of the hardest 状況/情勢s because it looks very scary when Frida goes 負かす/撃墜する,’ Eidevall said. ‘Of course, it's very 平易な to get thrown both with 焦点(を合わせる) and emotion to that point. But the reality of it is that we have a 広大な/多数の/重要な 医療の team.

‘There's nothing we can do in that moment to 改善する that 状況/情勢, but we can have 支配(する)/統制する over how we're playing football and that's what we needed to 支配(する)/統制する. That’s what Frida 手配中の,お尋ね者 us to do 同様に, to be able to make her a 支持する/優勝者.’

兵器庫 did just that when 黒人/ボイコット stenius 供給するd the game’s only moment of 質 in the 116th minute, finishing past Hampton after 会合 Caitlin Foord’s 削減(する)-支援する.

This was the last time Hayes and Eidevall will 直面する each other, with the Chelsea boss 出発/死ing for the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs at the end of the season. It is a 競争 that has produced 花火s and Hayes (打撃,刑罰などを)与えるd one last parting dig at her 対抗者. ‘This isn’t our only 競争. This is one of four that we were competing for.’

Eidevall, as ever, had an answer. ‘I’m happy with the way I 行為/行う myself and others need to look in the mirror and see if they’re happy with themselves.’
