    A terrific finish from Ji. Arsenal's defence is at sixes and sevens, players you would normally see defending properly. Chelsea have been ruthless in this second half, pouncing on any mistake.

    She's got the quality to finish from the edge of the box.

    The Chelsea fans are going absolutely wild to our right. Ji So-yun and the rest of the team sprinted over to celebrate in front of them. That's a huge goal which has really turned this game around. Chelsea have always been clinical and Arsenal's lack of that in the first half has been punished. Is there a way back in it? It will be extremely tough.

    Ruthless.

    From a Millie Bright long ball forward Sam Kerr controls the ball and causes all sorts of danger.

    Play eventually falls to Ji So-yun who smashes the ball in off the bar. Some finish. A long way back for Arsenal now.

    One hour gone. 30 minutes to go.

    Chelsea look very comfortable.

    Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea

    Manuela Zinsberger keeps Arsenal in the game. Beth England charges down a loose ball, and powers a shot towards the near post.

    But the Arsenal stopper gets a strong right hand to it to push the ball behind.

    Manuela Zinsberger is given a dangerous back pass, but the Arsenal keeper hammers the ball clear under intense pressure.

    Must have been watching the men's semi-final yesterday. That's how you do it.

    The goal has given Chelsea that shot in the arm. We did expect the game to open up in the second half and now Arsenal need to come out and find an equaliser.

    All Arsenal now, it's attack v defence with almost 11 Chelsea players back inside their own box.

    Wow.

    Guro Reiten loves a screamer and that was a screamer! It came just minutes after that chance from Beth Mead too.

    The Chelsea fans are singing "that's why we're Chelsea".

    That is a brilliant position picked up by Reiten, but I think from an Arsenal point of view, she had a lot of time to find it. We all know about her quality, she spent a lot of time in the first half waiting for the ball to come to her in space.

    It is a terrific effort.

    The moment we've packaged up highlights of Reiten's opener I'm dropping it into the live.

    That goal deserves to be seen again and again and again.

    WHAT A FINISH!

    Sensational stuff from Norway's Guro Reiten.

    She picks the ball up on the halfway line and everyone in red backs off.

    Don't let her shoot! Reiten leans back, and curls the ball into the top corner. Keeper no chance and suddenly this game is alive.

    THE CHANCE OF THE GAME.

    Arsenal's Beth Mead gets the ball on the turn, wrong-foots her defender, and strikes the ball with power, agonisingly wide from close in.

    I thought that was in.

    Both teams need to mix the game up a little more. The longer ball isn't working for Chelsea; they need that link player. Kim Little and Lia Walti are so clever o the ball, they need to have more of it for Arsenal.

    Yellow for Beth Mead for a high boot on Jessie Carter.

    No complaints for the Arsenal player.
