Chelsea had lost each of the previous three Women's League Cup finals but put a stop to that run on Saturday with a 2-1 victory over Manchester City at Pride Park Stadium.
Mayra Ramirez opened the scoring early in the first half, though City would restore parity in the 64th minute through Aoba Fujino's stunning effort.
However, the match was decided by an unfortunate own goal by Yui Hasegawa in the 77th minute, as she deflected Ramirez's cross over Ayaki Yamashita into her own net.
Sonia Bompastor has won a trophy with Chelsea at her first attempt, with many expecting them to win all four pieces of silverware available to them this season.
However, Cuthbert played down those ideas, saying Chelsea still have a lot of work to do if they want to make that happen.
"I hate all that chat to be honest," Cuthbert told BBC One. "I heard Lucy [Bronze] say a comment this week, we've won nothing.
"We're unbeaten so far, but it honestly means nothing. What trophy have you got to show for that? Other than this Subway Cup, that's one out of four.
"We've just got to try and take one foot in front of the other. Champions League next and see how far we can get.
"It gets harder every time. Everyone thinks it라이브 바카라 an easy thing, but it just gets harder and harder, and we get hungrier and hungrier."
This was the first of four consecutive meetings between Chelsea and City in all competitions, with the two teams also facing off in a two-legged Women's Champions League quarter-final on either side of their Women's Super League meeting.
Chelsea have now won 12 of their last 18 meetings with City in all competitions (D3 L3), including their last two, having also beaten them in the WSL this season.
They are also on an intimidating 28-match unbeaten streak since Bompastor's arrival, and she believes that winning the first of these four meetings with City could be a needed boost for the next three.
"Psychologically it's really important to win the first one," she said.
"Of course, it won't be the main element going into the next game, but in terms of confidence, it's really positive. You always recover better when you win games.
"That's a big advantage, but it won't be enough just to think that, because we won [the final], it will be enough to win the game on Wednesday.
"It's really important in this really rare situation - when you have to face the same team four times in 12 days - to take it game by game."
Meanwhile, it was not the return that Nick Cushing would have wanted to the City dugout, having returned to the club earlier this week to replace Gareth Taylor on an interim basis.
He took charge of his first City game since February 2020 and was largely successful in the Women's League Cup during his first spell, with his first trophy coming in the competition in 2016.
The Citizens have been hampered by injuries and may be dealt another blow in the coming days as Cushing confirmed post-match that Khadija Shaw had been feeling her hamstring, but he remains positive in his belief that the team will show more in the coming games.
"That's my job, to swing this into being motivation rather than the deflation of losing, or the fear that we are playing a better team," he said.
"I'm a simple guy. This feeling that you get when you lose finals - if that is not enough motivation, then we are playing the wrong game.
"If watching that game back doesn't give you the belief that you can go on and win... we did enough to win the game, and we had many moments.
"I was proud of that. If you carry that disappointment, it won't help on Wednesday. We can't do anything about this one now."
