Women’s FA Cup final: Attendance record smashed as 30000 fans watch Chelsea

Eniola Aluko says that Chelsea have made history by winning the Women’s FA Cup final for the first time.

These were the players that Emma Hayes chose to start, and win the Women’s FA Cup Final against Notts County Ladies FC.

Chelsea Ladies showed the men how to go about business on the Wembley stage as they picked up their first piece of major silverware. “I feel relieved”, Aluko told BBC One”. This trophy has been a long time coming and it is a great relief after going so close previous year.

Bassett, a Chelsea player last season, had admitted before the match yesterday that lifting the trophy with Notts County “would be an iconic picture but that is not my motivation”. But we certainly played under pressure. How will we play under pressure?

“We were disciplined and got the win”.

Fahey’s global team-mate Fiona O’Sullivan was an 82nd-minute substitute for the Magpies but couldn’t make the most of a late headed chance. (Manager) Emma Hayes and her staff deserve everything. She was awarded player of the match honours.

Aluko said after the 1-0 victory: “It is overwhelming”.
