ARSENAL Ladies fired five past London rivals Chelsea on Sunday to book their place in the final of the FA Cup.

The Blues twice took the lead at Woking’s Kingsfield Stadium, but Kelly Smith, pictured up against former Gunner Katie Chapman, made amends for missing a first-half penalty by bagging a brace to send the tie into extra-time.

Goals from Danielle Carter, Shinobu Ohno and Casey Stoney ensured Shelley Kerr’s side escaped the drama of penalties by wrapping up a 5-3 win and securing a June final date against Everton.
