What a pass from Lauren James. She pings it across the pitch to Johanna Rytting Kaneryd.
She sees Mayra Ramirez unmarked in the box but the pass isn't a good one and she can't get a shot off.

Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC TwoIt has been a quiet Katie McCabe this afternoon. I wonder if there will be more licence for her to roam now with Caitlin Foord on the pitch.

Archsomnia: Keeper down, mini-team talk on the sidelines. This is also happening far too often and is misleading the officials... Gotta pack this in.
'Transitional game favours Chelsea, who will look to counter'published at 16:32 British Summer Time 31 March
Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea
Fern Whelan
Former England and Brighton defender on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraI think this game state, the transitional end to end play, favours Chelsea at the moment. Arsenal are the team wanting to get the ball down and play calmly and composed, build through the thirds.
Chelsea are perfectly fine as it stands, break up play, be scrappy and try and counter. It will suit Chelsea unless Arsenal can find a way to take control of it.

Ah, the classic mid-second half goalkeeper 'injury' in a women's game. It's become comical at this point. Might as well just give the managers a timeout to use.

BBC Sport at MolineuxA game high in intensity, but low on quality. The flow has not been helped by several second-half stoppages either.
This final may well only be decided by an individual moment - whether of brilliance or error.

Former England and Brighton defender on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraThe game has become quite transitional in the last few minutes, end to end, it's gotten a little bit scrappy from both sides.

But seconds later, Arsenal break. It's Cloe Lacasse through one-on-one with Hannah Hampton and the Chelsea goalkeepers makes a big save!

Fern Whelan
Former England and Brighton defender on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraStina Blackstenius is causing Kadeisha Buchanan all sorts of problems. The Chelsea defender can't get tight to her because she has so much strength and is just holding her off.

Stina Blackstenius flicks it on to Frida Maanum, who spots Hannah Hampton off her line again and tries to lob her.
Again, unsuccessful. It would take something seriously special to beat Hampton from that distance.
