Emma Hayes goes too far, Bunny Shaw hits a goal-of-the-season contender and Leicester end a difficult week well
Emma Hayes was asked before the Continental League Cup final whether the competition mattered more to Arsenal as it was the Gunners’ only realistic chance of silverware. She rubbished the comment but there can be little doubt about just how much it mattered to Chelsea with emotions spilling over after a gritty showdown at Molineux in which Stina Blackstenius scored the winner deep into extra time.
In a week where Leicester, for an alleged player-coach relationship, the 27-year-old pulled off an impressive performance to keep the Foxes fighting until the final whistle. The talented Japanese midfielder swiftly responded to Villa’s early lead with a composed finish just two minutes later. Her impact continued into the second half when her well-placed free-kick set up Sam Tierney to give Leicester the lead.
