Arsenal Ladies captain Kelly Smith has dedicated the team's FA Cup final win to departing manager Shelley Kerr.
The Gunners lifted the trophy for the 13th time on Sunday thanks to a 2-0 victory over Everton in Milton Keynes.
Kerr announced last week that she would be leaving the club following the match, and Smith has paid tribute to the outgoing coach by claiming that she has taken the side forward.
"The incentive today was to win for coach Shelley Kerr," she told BBC Sport. "We have got some champagne ready for her.
"It is a shame she is going because she has taken this club forward. We have a new team after losing eight players in the close season, but you could see little bits of things coming together today."
Kerr joined Arsenal Ladies 16 months ago, but a poor start to their Women's Super League campaign has seen the Scot step down from her role as coach.
