Football: Manchester City win Continental Cup

Manchester City brought to an end Arsenal’s total dominance of the Continental Cup thanks to a superb 73rd-minute header from Isobel Christiansen.

Arsenal looked a solid bet to make it a fourth Cup title in as many seasons, such was their dominance at Adams Park, but City stunned the holders with a goal, and then held on for the remainder of the match to secure the victory.

For City Captain Steph Houghton this is the fourth year she has lifted the cup, having left Arsenal for Manchester City at the end of last season. Houghton was also voted player of the match, after a display of tough tackling and even fiercer free-kicks that stung the hands of Arsenal keeper Emma Byrne.
