Arsenal win first-ever Women's Champions Cup

Arsenal have won the final of the first-ever Women's Champions Cup.

They beat Brazilian side Corinthians 3-2 in extra time at London's Emirates Stadium.

The new Fifa tournament brought together six continental champions from around the world in a bid to determine the world's best women's club team.

As winners, the Gunners are now set to pick up a record £1.7million in prize money - the biggest single cash prize in women's club football.

The Gunners got off to a great start, with star striker Olivia Smith putting the Champions League winners 1-0 up after 15 minutes.

However, Corinthians captain Gabi Zanotti cancelled out Arsenal's early goal just six minutes later, meaning the scores were level at half-time.

In the second half, Lioness Lotte Wubben-Moy restored Arsenal's lead, and the north London side were seconds away from a 2-1 victory.

However, the South American champions converted a late 96th-minute penalty, sending the game into extra time.

Substitute Caitlin Foord struck the winner for Arsenal in the 104th minute after beating Corinthians goalkeeper Lele at her near post to seal the win for the Gunners.

But the game ended with an injury for Arsenal goalkeeper Anneke Borbe as she was carried off the pitch on a stretcher after accidentally clashing with teammate Lotte Wubben-Moy in the closing moments of extra time.

The result means that Renee Slegers' side lifted the first-ever Fifa Women's Champions Cup, adding an international title to the Champions League trophy they secured last May.

Speaking after the game, Arsenal captain Kim Little said she was proud of her players.

"It's great to get the win. We showed incredible character and resilience to lose the goal right at the end and come back in extra time. The girls did great.

"It's obviously a unique experience, it being the first Champions Cup. We'll take a lot from winning today and getting a trophy," she added.

As well as adding a brand-new piece of silverware to their cabinet, Arsenal also claimed the winners prize of £1.7 million.
