"It was a dire pass out from the back from goalkeeper Anneke Borbe, still filling in for Daphne van Domselaar, who laid the ball off straight to January signing Ellen Wangerheim. It was then too easy for Elisabeth Terland to roll the ball into the bottom left corner. It was only Man United's second real chance of the game and, unlike their previous meetings with Arsenal, Terland made sure their slim chance counted. The visitors only had two more chances on target,"
"Like the two meetings this season in the WSL, Arsenal struggled to capitalise on their chances. They lacked conviction in the final third and were missing that final touch that meant the hosts went goalless and have lost the first chance at clinching silverware amid a disappointing season so far. Despite 21 shots, only three registered on target and barely any of their build really challenged Phallon Tullis-Joyce in goal."
Manchester United advanced to their first League Cup final with a 1-0 victory over 10-player, seven-time champions Arsenal and will face Chelsea, who beat Manchester City 1-0 to reach a seventh consecutive final. Arsenal dominated shots and possession but registered only three efforts on target and rarely troubled Phallon Tullis-Joyce. United's winner came in first-half stoppage time after a poor pass from goalkeeper Anneke Borbe to January signing Ellen Wangerheim allowed Elisabeth Terland to score. Arsenal remain without silverware amid a torrid season, while Manchester City are increasingly focused on winning the WSL title.
