'World class' Beth Mead stars as Arsenal Women thrash Brighton to set up FA Cup final showdown against Chelsea for third time in six seasons

Arsenal coach Jonas Eidevall heaped praise on Beth Mead and Leah Williamson following his side’s 3-0 FA Cup semi-final victory over Brighton that sets up a tantalising Wembley showpiece against Chelsea next month.

Fine work from Mead set up Kim Little to lift the ball over Albion goalkeeper Megan Walsh from close range to make it 1-0 in the 50th minute. And Mead doubled the advantage four minutes later.

Williamson finished off the scoring with a 76th-minute header from Mead’s right-wing corner as 14-time winners Arsenal booked their spot in the final on December 5, where they face old foes Chelsea.
