Arsenal

Caitlin Foord’s extra-time strike won Arsenal the inaugural Women’s Champions Cup trophy in a 3-2 thriller against Corinthians at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Olivia Smith’s opener was cancelled out by a scrappy Gabi Zinotti equaliser in the first-half, before Lotte Wubben-Moy’s second-half header put Arsenal back into the lead.

Corinthians’ Vic Albequerque sent the game to extra-time when she scored a last-gasp penalty after VAR sent the referee to the screen for a Katie McCabe foul, before Foord provided the winning strike.

The victory crowns Arsenal the first team to win the Champions Cup and earns them a hefty £1.7 million – the largest ever prize pot in women’s football.
