Manchester City came from behind to beat Chelsea 1-0 in the Women's League Cup final at the Academy Stadium on Sunday and lift the trophy for the second time in three years.
Khadija Shaw scored the only goal of the game in the first half, heading in from a Lauren James cross to give City the lead.
Chelsea had chances to equalize, but they were unable to find a way past City goalkeeper Carla Ward, who made a number of fine saves.
The result means that City leapfrog Chelsea into second place in the Women's Super League table, level on points with leaders Arsenal.
