Report from the Vitality Women’s FA Cup quarter-final between Arsenal Women and Coventry United Ladies at Meadow Park
Friday 18 March 2022 22:29, UK
Arsenal moved into the Women’s FA Cup semi-finals in comfortable fashion as
they beat Coventry United 4-0 at Meadow Park.
The Women’s Super League leaders, playing a Coventry outfit who were on the brink of liquidation before a buyout in January and are bottom of the Championship following a 10-point deduction, dominated possession from the off but were initially unable to find a breakthrough.
That then changed in the 38th minute when Stina Blackstenius headed past Lucy Thomas after Grace Riglar could not clear Nikita Parris’ cross.
The advantage was subsequently doubled just before the hour mark when substitute Beth Mead swept a shot in moments after coming on.
And Parris made it 3-0 four minutes later, tucking home from Katie McCabe’s delivery from the left.
