Chelsea and Manchester City will contest the final of the FA Cup on May 15 at Wembley Stadium in London.
The Blues brushed aside a lacklustre Arsenal with second half goals coming from Guro Reiten and Ji So-yun at Meadow Park – giving Chelsea the chance to retain the trophy they won when they defeated the same Gunners in 2021.
The semi-final was the fourth meeting between the two sides, with Emma Hayes’ charges continuing their dominance following three victories. Arsenal’s only win was on the opening day of the Women’s Super League played at Emirates Stadium.
Chelsea are on the hunt for their third FA Cup title in five years – but will have to deal with an in-form Manchester City, who brushed aside West Ham in the other semi-final.
The Citizens went into the half time break with a 2-1 lead courtesy of goals from Ellen White and Chloe Kelly, while Lisa Evans scored for the Hammers.
City, who won this competition in 2020, pulled away with two second half strikes by Lauren Hemp to register a 4-1 win.
