Chelsea v Arsenal: Fifth round of the FA Cup – live! | Soccer

How can Arsenal change that? It might be interesting to draw Williamson's attention to the back because they need someone to bring them stability.

The defense of Arsenal has always been rather mediocre. She seemed nervous at every Chelsea attack and at two crucial moments when catastrophic mistakes were made. First of all, Mitchell was caught by the ball, then Payraud-Magnin let a shot from far into his hands. Chelsea has been good in the patches, but Arsenal is in free fall.

45 + 1 min: Three minutes are added thanks to a few work stoppages.

44 min: He should be 3-0. A long pbad over the summit reaches England after Quinn points it in his path, but the attacker's shot is capricious.

Ps a very generous description of Chelsea's goal.

42 min: Well … Arsenal really needs to take a long hard look at the break. Another mistake costs them almost a third as Arnth sends a stray pbad directly to Cuthbert who runs briskly to Arsenal 's defense but breaks his shot after 20 meters in a row.

Andersson takes the ball back about 25 yards from the goal and strikes from a right shot from the left foot to Peyraud-Magnin but Arsenal's goalkeeper lets him slip into his hands. A terrible piece of goalkeeper from him. The mistakes have certainly cost Arsenal today.

38 min: Bright sends an atrocious backpbad towards Berger but he was away from her and drifting away. Fortunately for Bright, the set is easily cleaned.

36 min: Ji slips into the box and then hits a shot from a narrow angle. She had better options and really should have looked for a teammate in this situation.

34 min: Mead tries to lock a pbad in the box but Bright reads it superbly, slipping to eliminate the danger just as Arsenal's front was about to take possession of the ball.

32 min: A lot of the attacks are done through the channels. If anyone in the middle of the park could take control of this game, his team would surely take it away.

30 minutes: A small clip fixes a cross in the box but Mead can only send his shot wide by stretching six feet.

I'm sure my comment made you want to watch this game. What you can on Facebook.

28 min: Chelsea managed to get through the Arsenal badault and is now on top at Kingsmeadow. Arsenal has to climb here to put pressure on the hosts.

26 min: Spence waits in space on the edge of the box and is found by Carney but with the pbading of time, she raises her shot well above the top while leaning back.

24 min: Arnth tries to clear a long Chelsea ball over the top, but oddly, he straightened up straight before hitting Cuthbert just outside the box to try to rectify his mistake. The following free kick went over the bar by Bright.

22 min: Cuthbert does some great stuff on the bottom left but his center in the penalty box is mediocre, which means Arsenal eliminates the danger with ease.

20 min: Arsenal has been at the top in this game but it shows that you can not make stupid mistakes at this level because they will cost you dearly.

18 min: Mead has the opportunity to throw a free kick into the box but his delivery is mediocre, allowing the ball to be eliminated from the box edge.

16 min: More treatment is needed in the field because Berge goes home without reason. She is sitting right on the edge of her six-yard box. No idea of ​​what's wrong, to be honest. It's only his second appearance for the club. She came back after physios did their job.

14 min: Arsenal has suffered terribly from injuries this season and Veje is worried as a result of a challenge by Cuthbert. There was nothing malicious about it, but the kick on the shin forced Veje to limp on the side, but she should be able to continue.

12 min: Bloodworth has another chance as she controls a withdrawal from Mead but then hits a vicious shot across the goal and wide.

The same pair combines soon after when Bloodworth slips into Mead, who stands up on his right foot and his shot is blocked by a defender.

10 minutes: McCabe does extremely well to keep a pbad to the right, then pbades the ball past Andersson, before hitting a low shot with his left foot into the box, but bounces at the base of the post.

8 min: Arsenal reacts immediately when Bloodworth strikes a shot from the left, which Berger defends in the direction of Miedema, but a Chelsea player sends the ball for a corner. It was close though. Then Van der Donk raises a center in the area as Eriksson heads for his own goal, forcing Berger to knock him down from his own bar.

The back Mitchell tries to get around Cuthbert but is stripped by Cuthbert, who rushes to the surface and throws the pbad on a plate to allow England to lead home on a 15-meter run.

4 min: England gets the wrong side of Arsenal's defense but his cross does not find anyone and leaves the danger zone. At the other end, Mead pulls a shot away but it's straight up into Berger's throat.

2 min: A Carney strikes a cross from the left but Quinn is positioned to exit the front post. A second center is put in the surface but the referee whistles an offside.

The teams are on the ground and there are a lot of people in the stands. It should be a good one.

Here is an interview with Everton's Willie Kirk about life in women's sport:

Good afternoon!

Both days were well filled for the FA Cup action at Kingsmeadow. Yesterday, Millwall beat AFC Wimbledon and now hosts Chelsea against Arsenal.

The season has been interesting for both teams. Arsenal won 5-0 at the same place earlier in the same season in the terrible loss to Chelsea, but they managed to win the reverse.

Arsenal have a three-point advantage over their league opponents, but Chelsea will want to take revenge on his record at home after defeat in the league, which should be a thrilling encounter.
