Arsenal crowned first FIFA Women’s Champions Cup winners

Arsenal emerged as winners of the inaugural Women’s Champions Cup by edging Brazil’s Corinthians after extra time in a rain-soaked final at Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners were seconds away from a 2-1 victory in regulation time but Vic Albuquerque converted a 96th-minute penalty as the South American champions took the game into the additional half hour.

But substitute Caitlin Foord struck the winner in the 104th minute after beating goalkeeper Lele at her near post to break the Corinthians hearts.
