Arsenal deliver under pressure - but what comes next?

Arsenal's manager, Jonas Eidevall, has successfully guided his team to win two successive Continental Cup titles. As of now, these remain the only trophies that he has won since taking over the helm of the club.

After winning the Continental Cup with a lot of twists and turns, Arsenal will now have to reflect and plan for their next move.

To begin with, an alarming incident occurred on the field during the second-half stoppage time when Frida Maanum, who plays for Arsenal as a midfielder, collapsed. The Norwegian player had to receive medical attention and was eventually carried off the Molineux pitch on a stretcher while using an oxygen mask.

Arsenal has verified that Maanum is in a stable condition, and as per Jonas Eidevall, the team's manager, the two have conversed and she will accompany the squad back to London.

Another incident occurred when Eidevall and Emma Hayes, the manager of Chelsea, had a disagreement at the end of the game. Hayes forcefully touched Eidevall's chest and claimed that he was exhibiting "masculine aggression".

Eidevall shared that the incident occurred when he objected to Chelsea's request for an additional ball to facilitate a quick throw-in towards the end of the game. This request conflicted with the previously agreed one-ball system between the two teams, resulting in a verbal altercation between him and midfielder Erin Cuthbert.

After all is said and done, the most important issue for Arsenal to address in the future is their ability to perform well under pressure consistently, similar to how they did in Wolverhampton.

The previous season, Arsenal secured the third spot in the Women's Super League and emerged victorious in the League Cup. Unless they miraculously contest for the championship or suffer a major setback to trail behind Manchester United or Liverpool, they are anticipated to have a similar result this season.

Although winning a major trophy and qualifying for the Champions League is a fantastic season for most clubs, it does not suffice for Arsenal. They have higher expectations and ambitions beyond what most clubs aim for.

They're the most accomplished squad in recent history of professional women's soccer in England and have secured their seventh League Cup victory, establishing a new record. Blackstenius' goal was the two hundredth goal for the competition so far.

Chelsea will not be able to match Vic Akers' class of 2007 this season as they are still the only team to have won the quadruple.

"Iceberg's Tip: A Deeper Story"

Do you think it's sufficient for Arsenal to secure a third-place finish and the League Cup two years in a row?

Eidevall is seeking to enhance his performance.

Eidevall informed BBC Sport that it's a part of his responsibility. If you're coaching particular teams, they demand success, and it isn't just Arsenal.

It's difficult because some clubs anticipate winning trophies, but not all clubs can achieve this. Consequently, accomplishing it two years in a row is impressive, but we strive for greater accomplishments.

During the press conference held after the match, Eidevall expressed that matches such as the final of the League Cup were only the beginning and there's a lot more to come.

According to him, we are making good progress every day. He believes that we have been performing exceptionally well against competitive teams this season.

To secure victories in multiple competitions, we must work on maintaining a steady and unwavering performance.

The inconsistency of Arsenal leads to a situation where the team who won the League Cup this season by defeating Chelsea in the final, was also knocked out of the Champions League during the qualification round by Paris FC.

The Gunners who managed to beat Chelsea with a score of 4-1 during a match at Emirates Stadium, ended up losing other league games against teams like Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham.

As Eidevall jubilantly cheered with his team at the end of the game, he may have pondered on the potential outcome if Manuela Zinsberger hadn't made a vital save in the last minute on Lauren James. It's possible that Arsenal's season would have been looked at differently if that goal had gone in.

'One Tough Predicament'

Fara Williams, a former Arsenal midfielder, shared on BBC Two that Eidevall is knowledgeable about the club's history. She also highlighted how significant it is to secure trophies for the team, which can be seen in their enthusiastic celebrations.

He dashed for half of the playing area towards the corner flag to rejoice with his team. It's clearly very significant to have won a trophy for this particular club.

Eidevall deserves recognition for his exceptional leadership skills in motivating his team at the beginning of extra time, despite the challenging situation of their injured teammate Maanum being carried off the field.

Eidevall appeared emotional as he addressed his team, however, he managed to compose himself and provide them with the crucial directives. Eventually, he led his team to triumph and earned a well-deserved trophy.

Just a short time ago, Arsenal lost to Chelsea 3-1 while playing away in the league.

Eidevall mentioned that the game against Chelsea brought in some valuable lessons for the team. He highlighted that the team's performance wasn't up to par in a stress-inducing situation, and it was crucial for them to acknowledge such instances. The team needs to learn how to handle such scenarios when they arise.

This was a really tough scenario, it seemed really frightening when Frida fell. However, we have an excellent medical team, so we should concentrate on playing our best football.

Arsenal remained concentrated until the very last minute of the game, and once the match was over, there were huge festivities.

"It's really special for our team to achieve victory two years in a row," expressed Ellen White, a retired striker for the England national team, during a conversation with BBC Two.

"They've accomplished it as a gesture of appreciation to the supporters, Maanum, the team, the personnel - for all individuals connected with this soccer organization."

Arsenal had an impressive conclusion to a touching day, but Eidevall's primary focus is on the future tasks ahead with his team.
