Liverpool profit from a late own goal to beat Arsenal 1-0 and book their spot in the Women's FA Cup semi-finals.

Liverpool completed the upset of the Women’s FA Cup quarter-finals with a battling 1-0 victory against Arsenal. A 78th-minute winner – a rebounded own goal off the unfortunate Daphne van Domselaar – sent the Reds through to the semi-finals for the first time since the 2016-17 season.

Some FA Cup matches epitomise exactly what the competition is about: high stakes football with players putting their bodies on the line to try to reach the next round. This match embodied exactly that – and with a prized upset.

Liverpool took another step towards the Premier League title with a 2-0 win at Manchester City after talisman Mohamed Salah scored their first goal and set up Dominik Szoboszlai for the second as they went 11 points clear at the top on Sunday.

Martin Odegaard promised Arsenal would fight until the end but conceded his side were in a difficult position to stop Liverpool from winning the Premier League title. The Gunners have been cast 16 points behind leaders Liverpool – who beat bottom side Southampton on Saturday – ahead of their trip to Manchester United on Sunday.
