Arsenal full-back Katie McCabe is the highest one up the pitch when she gets in behind on the left.

Vivianne Miedema is on fire at the moment. She drives through the centre, weaving in and out but opts to slide in Mana Iwabuchi despite the crowd's call to shoot.
It's slightly too heavy and Iwabuchi's pass back across the edge of the box is intercepted.
Chelsea break down the left but Beth England can't beat Manuela Zinsberger to the cross.

You felt sure Chelsea might break the deadlock very early on but they took their foot off, Arsenal gained confidence, got a foothold and have been very bright and full of quality.
Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea
Lia Walti gets a toe in on Beth England as she tries to drive into the box. The referee waves play on despite heavy Chelsea protests and Ji So-yun is sharp onto it.

Keith Webb: Get in there!
Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea
Emma Hayes is on her feet and at the edge of the technical area now. She's been sat down for most of the game so far.
We're still discussing that Vivianne Miedema finish in the press box. She even celebrated which isn't like her...

Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
A fantastic finish from the deadly Miedema. You expect her to go across the goal but she doesn't, she goes between Jess Carter's legs. She sees that tiny bit of space and what a finish.
Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea
Beth Mead and Kim Little link-up on the right. The Scotland international gets to the byline, cuts it back but Ann-Katrin Berger pounces on it.
Arsenal are on fire at the moment!
Vivianne Miedema
She's so, so good in front of goal.
Vivianne Miedema is played in behind. Jess Carter gets back to put her under pressure but Miedema takes one step to her right, then drills it expertly into the bottom left corner.
There was the tiniest of gaps and Miedema found it. Incredible finish. That's why she's one of the world's best.
The Emirates crowd are on their feet.
Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea
Mana Iwabuchi coolly flicks it on to Katie McCabe with the outside of her boot.
McCabe curls it into the path of Beth Mead - who would have been clean through - but it rolls inches ahead. Huge chance!
