A League Cup Final shocker for Chelsea Women too as Emma Hayes' side are stunned by Manchester City's fightback to end the Blues' run of domestic trophy success

Emma Hayes will no doubt be glad to see the back of last week. It has been a turbulent fortnight for everyone at Chelsea and now both teams have lost a League Cup final.

For 45 minutes, Hayes was on course for a 12th trophy since taking over the Blues' women's team in 2012. But a second-half fightback from Manchester City ended Chelsea's run of three domestic trophies on the bounce.

The build-up to the Continental Cup final was dominated by Roman Abramovich's impending sale of Chelsea and Hayes' role as one of the foundation trustees set to be given stewardship of the club, a plan which has since been abandoned.
