00:00The sight of Millie Bright lifting silverware in Chelsea colours is hardly new. Her League Cup

00:08medal received after Chelsea's 2-1 win against Manchester City marked her 14th major honour

00:15with the club and her second as captain. However, the victory also signified the beginning of a new

00:24chapter under Sonia Bombastour's management, with the trophy filling a long-awaited gap in Chelsea's

00:32cabinet. Despite Chelsea's immense success in domestic football, the League Cup had eluded

00:39them more often than they would have liked. Having lost the previous three finals, the 31-year-old

00:46Bright admitted that the trophy's absence weighed heavily on her mind. It had been something that

00:52had bothered her for a long time. Bright, who signed a contract extension in early March, played a pivotal

00:59role in her team's triumph. A disappointing bobbly surface at Derby County's Pride Park

01:06prevented both teams from showcasing their full technical ability. This highlighted the importance

01:13of striker's Mayra Ramirez for Chelsea. The match quickly took shape when City's early attempts to

01:20feed Shaw were thwarted by Bright's timely defensive intervention.

01:51Man City got one back on Chelsea though as they led 2-0 after the first leg of their

02:00Champions League tie. But with three more trophies still up for grabs, Bombastour's

02:06message was clear. The first one is in the pocket and there's more to come from this side.
