Chelsea ace Mjelde given oxygen before being taken off on a stretcher after suffering horror injury in Conti Cup final

CHELSEA defender Maren Mjelde was given oxygen and stretchered off after suffering a horrific injury in the FA Women's Continental Cup final.

The Blues cruised to victory in style against Bristol City, winning the trophy with a 6-0 victory at Vicarage Road.

But one major negative for Emma Hayes' side was the departure of Mjelde, with reports suggesting she has seriously injured her left leg.

The Norwegian went in for a seemingly tame challenge with Bristol City's Aimee Palmer but went down as a result.

And Palmer was visibly distressed after realising the extent of Mjelde's pain.

The 31-year-old was given oxygen on the pitch before being lifted off on to a stretcher.

Chelsea striker Sam Kerr helped herself to a hat-trick as the Blues dismantled their fellow Women's Super League opponents.

The Australian forward netted twice in the first ten minutes to give the WSL champions a comfortable lead.

England attacker Fran Kirby then added a third before the half hour mark to all but kill the game before it had really got going.

Six minutes later Kirby added another in a final which was quickly turning into a rout.

Four minutes after the break Kerr completed her hat-trick.

And Guro Reiten rounded off a perfect display with a sixth ten minutes into the second half.
