Liverpool achieved a surprising victory over Arsenal in the Women's FA Cup quarter-finals, clinching a 1-0 win thanks to a late own goal from Daphne van Domselaar. This victory marks Liverpool's first semi-final appearance since the 2016-17 season. Interim manager Amber Whiteley praised her team's performance, highlighting their disciplined play and effective game plan that stifled Arsenal's attempts to score. Despite facing challenges following the departure of their previous coach, Liverpool maintained consistent lineups, ultimately leading to their success against a struggling Arsenal side.
I am so pleased for everyone today. They've put in so much the last couple of weeks. We've changed the system and they've implemented it outstandingly.
Off the ball, we really limited their chances in front of goal. I think Rachael Laws only made one save. We had good opportunities and I think we deserve to be in the hat for the next round.
Liverpool's gameplan and intense press proved disruptive from the first whistle with Arsenal struggling to get any foothold in the game.
