Report: Arsenal 4-0 Aston Villa Women

We secured our place in a second-successive Conti Cup final with a dominant performance against Aston Villa on Wednesday evening.

Four first-half goals, including a 40-minute hat-trick from Stina Blackstenius and a wonder goal from Frida Maanum, were enough to secure the victory and give us the chance to defend our Conti Cup title on 31 March.

What happened

Jonas Eidevall made four changes to the starting XI who defeated Tottenham Hotspur at Emirates Stadium, with Leah Williamson, Kyra Cooney-Cross, Frida Maanum and Stina Blackstenius coming in.

Buoyed by the weekend's victory in front of a sold-out crowd, our Gunners sprang out of the starting gate in a relentless high press and nearly found an opener after only a minute played.
