Arsenal were crowned the inaugural Women’s Champions Cup winners after substitute Caitlin Foord scored to seal a 3-2 extra-time victory over Brazilian side Corinthians. Corinthians captain Gabi Zanotti cancelled out Olivia Smith’s 15th-minute opener in the first half before Lotte Wubben-Moy nodded Arsenal back in front after the break. Arsenal were moments from victory but Katie McCabe conceded a stoppage-time penalty – scored by Vic Albuquerque – before battling back under the downpour in the first period of extra time. Arsenal were back in front after Wubben-Moy rose to meet Emily Fox’s cross, whipping it past Leticia in the 58th minute. Up stepped Albuquerque, who fired down the middle past a diving Borbe to force extra time.
