With other results going their way earlier today, it really has been a great night for Chelsea.

The Women's FA Cup winners are now clear favourites to win the league title this season for the first time in their history.

They've deservedly beaten rivals Arsenal 2-0 tonight. Thanks for joining us. We'll see you soon.

Chelsea boss Emma Hayes tells BT Sport:

"When you consider how many chances we had, I was disappointed it was only 1-0 at half-time.

"We should have ended the game sooner, but I'm pleased with the result."

So, Chelsea are top of the league with a three-point cushion. Is today going to prove to be a pivotal day in the title race?

They are also now five points ahead of Arsenal, who were not themselves tonight.

The whistle goes and Chelsea are convincing winners. It finishes 2-0 and Arsenal were definitely second best.

Arsenal are a whisker away from a consolation goal but Jordan Nobbs hits the post. Hedvig Lindahl actually got a slight touch to that, so it will go down as a shot on target - potentially Arsenal's only one of the night.

Arsenal almost have a rare chance but Natalia can't quite get a shot on goal. As the ball comes in from the right, Hedvig Lindahl comes out quickly and helps it out for a corner.

Arsenal can't muster anything from the resulting set-piece.

We are playing four minutes of injury time, by the way.

One player who has been quiet but very, very effective as always for Chelsea tonight is their captain Katie Chapman.

There was some doubt about her fitness, after she left the ground on crutches last weekend, but she started and she has looked as in-form as ever in that holding midfield role, tidying loose balls up and reading the game superbly.

Dominique Janssen is booked for a foul on Drew Spence. Nothing is going Arsenal's way.

This game is winding down. Arsenal have not recovered since going 2-0 down and the points look very much like Chelsea's at the moment.

Laura Coombs comes on for Chelsea in place of Gemma Davison. The winger has had another fine game for the Blues.

Millie Bright comes on for Ji So-Yun, which is a relatively defensive substitution from Chelsea, who will surely just look to maintain this lead now.

It is worth mentioning that Arsenal are without some of their most important first-team players due to injury tonight, with long-term absentees Kelly Smith and Leah Williamson still on the sidelines. Captain Alex Scott is also missing today, having suffered a 'knock'.

That said, the Gunners will have hoped from better from their team tonight. They have played better than this in recent weeks.

Carla Humphrey replaces Vicky Losada for Arsenal in their midfield.

Is there any way back for the hosts?

Drew Spence shoots high, high over the bar from 25-yards out. That was a bit of a shame, because it had been a very neat passing move from Chelsea.

Ana Borges replaces Chelsea forward Eniola Aluko.

That is a huge goal for Chelsea. They have a comfortable 2-0 lead and it looks very difficult for Arsenal to find a way back from this now.

The Blues are heading for a three-point lead at the top as things stand, but crucially they are heading for a five-point lead over Arsenal, which might almost rule out the Gunners in the title race with just three games left.

Fran Kirby almost makes it 3-0 but fires over from seven yards out.

Gemma Davison scores from the spot to give Chelsea a potentially-decisive two-goal lead.

Sari Van Veenendaal went the right way and got a glove to the ball, but Davison's kick had too much power on it.

Chelsea's Fran Kirby is taken down by Emma Mitchell in the box as the ball was going away from goal.

The referee signals for a penalty and it is hard for Arsenal to argue with that.

Jade Bailey is booked for Arsenal for repeated fouls. Perhaps the Lady Gunners are getting a tad frustrated.

Fran Kirby is on the end of a good Chelsea move down the right but Sari Van Veenendaal gets down well to produce a good save.

That was an important stop from the Arsenal keeper.
