Gunners march into Final

Arsenal marched into their fourth consecutive FA Women's Cup Final after cruising to a 3-1 win against Mo Marley's Everton.

Everton were left to rue a poor defensive display as the Toffees gifted the opening goal to a fluid Arsenal side.

Goalkeeper Rachel Brown failed to deal with a back pass early on and with Rachel Yankey in close proximity, the Arsenal ace slotted her side ahead.

Jayne Ludlow doubled the lead for the Gunners after heading home a Kim Little corner, before Gilly Flaherty added a third on the stroke of half-time.

Arsenal were threatening to run away with it and Marley was grateful to hear the half-time whistle.

Her side improved after the break and Natasha Dowie breathed life into the tie on 54 minutes with a crisp finish.

But it proved too little, too late for Everton as Arsenal did the damage in a sensational first half.

The Gunners will now face Sunderland in The Final at Pride Park on Monday 4 May after the Black Cats also scored three against Chelsea at the Stadium of Light. All three goals came in the second half and booked Mick Mulhern's side a place in The Final for the first time in the club's history.
