Highlights – Impressive Arsenal Women beat Chelsea 3-1 to win the Conti Cup Final
Gooners expect such a result this Sunday afternoon. Frida Maanum expressed her feelings about the Continental Cup showdown, on talkSPORT . She admitted that winning the Continental Cup last season was special, and she was glad they beat Chelsea to it. She noted Arsenal’s rivalry with Chelsea and their desire to win and redeem themselves after a devastating 3-1 WSL loss to Chelsea two weeks ago.
“Obviously it’s special. We were there last year and won as well, which was an amazing game for us and winning against Chelsea is always nice,” said the Arsenal midfielder.
“We all know the rivalry between us and Chelsea and we always want to win and I think we all feel hungry in our team to put things right together after that game [at Stamford Bridge recently].”
Frida’s remarks are encouraging; hopefully she will step up and help this Arsenal team to a memorable victory Sunday afternoon. Maanum is in the starting XI for the Cup Final today.
Winning the Continental Cup would be fantastic, especially beating Chelsea to it. Arsenal’s season may not have gone as planned, but the Continental Cup win would provide a silver lining.
It may not be a major feat, but winning the league cup could be the foundation of Eidevall’s project to acquire more glory in the coming seasons.
COYGW!! WE NEED THIS!!

I didn’t watch the game due to the overlap with our PL match, but am very pleased that we beat Chelsea, although I’ve read that Magnum was sadly badly injured.
Maanum.
Nice win, appears the Blues not taking it too nicely
