WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) — Emma Hayes, the incoming coach of the U.S. women’s national team, appeared to push Arsenal coach Jonas Eidevall and later complained about “male aggression” after Chelsea's quadruple bid ended with defeat in the Women's English League Cup final on Sunday.
Arsenal won 1-0 in extra time after Stina Blackstenius scored in the 116th minute at Molineux.
Hayes appeared to push Eidevall and say something to him as he went to shake her hand after the final whistle.
When questioned later, the Chelsea coach said “I'm not down for male aggression on the touchline.”
