Arsenal Ladies produced their most impressive result of the season to beat Everton 3-1 and book their place in the FA Cup final for a fourth successive season.

Rachel Yankey took advantage of a defensive mix-up to fire Arsenal ahead and Gill Flaherty doubled the advantage before a Jayne Ludlow free-kick made it 3-0 before the interval.
Natasha Dowie pulled one back for Everton on 55 minutes but the Gunners coasted through to set up a final with Sunderland at Derby's Pride Park stadium on May 4.
