Blackstenius' 116-minute winner secures Conti Cup

Stina Blackstenius' 116th minute winner saw us win the FA Women's Continental Tyres League Cup for the second season running with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea.

With the game looking like it would have to be decided by a penalty shootout, Blackstenius stepped up to cushion the ball into the bottom right corner in the dying embers, bringing about pandemonium among Gooners in the Sir Jack Hayward Stand at Molineux Stadium.

What happened

Chelsea had the first chance of the game when Lauren James plucked the ball out of the air and shot towards Manuela Zinsberger’s near post, but our goalkeeper parried the ball behind into the Sir Jack Hayward Stand, which was full of red and white flags and scarves.
