Chelsea 1-3 Manchester City: Victory for City in League Cup final

Manchester City scored three second-half goals to come from behind and end Chelsea's domestic dominance with victory in a thrilling Continental Cup final.

City were sloppy in the opening 45 minutes at the Cherry Red Records Stadium, but they flew out of the blocks after the interval and drew level through Caroline Weir.

Nine minutes later, the travelling City fans were in raptures again as Ellen White turned in the second from close range.

Weir sealed victory with another fine finish which arrowed into the top corner and delivered a first trophy for the club since they won the FA Cup in 2020.

English champions and FA Cup holders Chelsea, who have also won the last two League Cup finals, had taken a deserved lead through Sam Kerr in the first half.

The Australian capitalised on a defensive City mistake to swivel and finish, in front of a sell-out crowd, which included a majority of Chelsea fans with the game being played five miles from the club's home ground.

However, such was the change in momentum the final result could have been worse for Chelsea, who seemed to switch off in the second half, as White and Hayley Raso forced Ann-Katrin Berger into saves.

Victory for City was their first in four attempts against Chelsea this season, after losing both league meetings and the rearranged 2021 FA Cup semi-final in October.
