    This feels like a big 15 minutes or so. Chelsea need two goals and want to get things moving quickly but Arsenal look like they have fire in their bellys. They are chasing everything down, putting Chelsea under pressure and running everywhere for each other.

    Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC One

    It has been great energy and work rate from Arsenal but there has been plenty of quality too. It hasn't just been graft.

    They've combined the two. In possession, they've been calm.

    We didn't see enough of Lauren James in the first half. She seemed to be switching off and wasn't involved in the press.

    They need her on the ball, that's when she comes alive.

    McCabe has been in the wars today, this time she is caught in the head by the shoulder of Eriksson as they challenge for the ball.

    Again, McCabe gets up to continue. She's a tough cookie.

    So nearly one back for Chelsea, and again they get joy down the left.

    This time Cuthbert meets the cross in, however her shot has neither power nor accuracy and runs just wide of the post.
