Arsenal 3-1 Chelsea: Gunners stage a terrific first-half comeback to lift the Women's League Cup as Niamh Charles' own goal seals victory after goals from Stina Blackstenius and Kim Little initially put them in control

Arsenal avenged their 19/20 Women's League Cup defeat by dominating Chelsea in Sunday's final as the Gunners came from behind to win 3-1 at Selhurst Park.

Jonas Eidevall's side staged a stunning first-half comeback after Chelsea's Sam Kerr initially put the favourites ahead after just two minutes, before a trio of strikes swung the tie.

Swedish striker Stina Blackstenius equalised in the 16th minute, with Kim Little then converting from the penalty spot after team-mate Katie McCabe was brought down by Sophie Ingle in the Chelsea box.

Blues defender Niamh Charles rounded off a torrid first-half by deflecting the ball into her own net as Arsenal completed their comeback.
