Chelsea had lost the Women's League Cup's last three finals, but ended that run this time, with Sonia Bompastor winning a trophy on her first attempt with the Blues

Chelsea defeated Manchester City to win the Women’s League Cup and secure a first trophy under Sonia Bompastor as Yui Hasegawa’s own goal settled an entertaining final at Pride Park. Mayra Ramirez bundled in the opening goal for the Blues after just seven minutes but Nick Cushing’s City were the better side up until half time in terms of possession and chances.

The first of Chelsea Women’s four consecutive clashes against Manchester City starts on a big note: a cup final! Both teams meet today at Pride Park in Derby for their first chance of lifting silverware this season. Winner takes all. Loads of stakes on the table.
