Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal: Emma Hayes' defending champions knock their London rivals out of the Women's FA Cup, with goals from Sophie Ingle and Sam Kerr sending Blues into the quarter-finals

Having contested three finals, two semi-finals and a quarter-final in the FA Cup in the last decade, Chelsea and Arsenal have developed quite the rivalry in this competition.

This year the draw pitted the pair against each other in the fifth round, where both sides played their part in producing a game which would have been worthy of a Wembley final.

It is Chelsea who progressed to the quarter-finals after a goal in each half from first Sophie Ingle and then Sam Kerr gave the Blues a 2-0 win and kept their dream of winning a hat-trick of FA Cups alive.
