Suzanne Wrack"s match report Righto, that is us – check back here and on site for Suzy Wrack’s match report, with us imminently. Otherwise, thanks for your company and peace out. In other Chelsea news: Of course, it may be that City’s proper opportunity comes next season, when there’ll be no Emma Hayes in the road. Real talk, Arsenal and Man United may also be seeking new managers, so they’ll seriously fancy themselves as a year or two ahead of their rivals. So how do we think that Chelsea v City game will go? Well Lauren James is a law unto herself, and if she’s at it, City will have a problem. But they’re playing with such confidence at the moment, they wont’ arrive in London feeling inferior – though my sense is Chelsea’s knowhow will be just about enough. We’ll also have Villa v Man United for you – our blog will get going in 40 39 minutes. Leandro Trossard has put Arsenal 4-0 up at West Ham! This is getting silly, and might yet get sillier still. Coming up for you later… Arsenal now lead 3-0 at West Ham thanks to one penalty and two goals from set-pieces and one penalty. David Moyes will be raging. I love this. When told City are unbeaten in 10, he points out that it’s 10 wins in a row, he’s really proud of his players, and Shaw has been nursing a calf issue for a few weeeks but she’s fine. Alex Greenwood just started an interview with “Like I said,” tremendous work. She says City have worked really hard on their defending so she’s delighted with another clean sheet, and they also work hard at set pieces. What’s changed this season is the building of relationships and partnerships between the players, Gareth Taylor able to pick the same XI in every game. She’s looking forward to the Chelsea game, and the side are so confident now they’ll be going there to win. Aleixandri is very happy and was excited to help the team with her goal. She’s so excited she doesn’t know what to say, congratulating Keating on her performance, and is now looking forward to City’s crucial match with Chelsea on Friday. We see a still of Keating saving herself, ball and line magnified, and it does look like it was in. She’ll argue that she earned her luck today. Also going on: Arsenal were really disappointing today. The snap was missing from their passing, and though they’ve got injury issues, had they played the full 90 with the intensity of the last 10, they might still be in the Cup. They’ve only won one trophy in the last five years, and Eidevall is under a lot of pressure now. There wasn’t much between these sides, but City were the more confident outfit though Arsenal played the better football after half-time. Their back five were excellent, limiting their hosts to shots from distance and set-pieces, then when the chance presented itself, Aleixandri finished confidently. FULL TIME: Arsenal 0-1 Manchester City Khiara Keating is the hero! 90+7 min The corner flies beyond the back post, Walti can’t control, and that must surely be it?! 90+6 min Arsenal win a corner and up comes D’Angelo; what a frantic end this is, the tempo we’d hoped for from the start… 90+6 min But when the corner comes in, she fumbles, stretching to hook the ball into her own hand … but was the whole of it over the goalline?! Eidevall thinks so but the angle doesn’t help us nor do the officials help him. What an escape for City! 90+5 min D’Angelo sends a terrific pass out wide to Fox, and knocks inside for Little, and she takes a touch then leathers a shot form the edge … that Keating tips over! Whata day she’s having! 90+4 min Arsenal have played quite well since falling behind, but their chances have mainly come from balls into the box, rather than the quick, short passing for which they’re known. It’s not quite happening for them at the moment. 90+4 min Casparaji was also booked a few minutes ago – apologies, I missed that. 90+4 min Another change for City, Kennedy replacing Hasegawa. 90+3 min Wubben-Moy yanks Hemp down and is booked. 90+1 min Fox sweeps in a tremendous criss and Pelova is up! She glances a fine header towards the far corner, but Keating, who’s had a terrific afternoon, scrambles across to fingertip behind! That’s another very fine save, and she is now my player of the match 90 mins We’ll have six added minutes. Can Arsenal find an equaliser to force extra time? 90 min Given time on the ball, Foord swings in a cross … and Blackstenious is up above Greenwood! But her header is straight at Keating, who collects easily, when a yard either side would’ve left her powerless. 88 min Keating introduces knuckles to ball, Blackstenius retrieving and going at Kelly on the outside; Kelly stretches out a desperate thigh, and Blackstenius opts not to tumble over it! She goes down there, it’s got to be a penalty, but her eyes are on the ball and she runs out of pitch. 87 min Codina plays a nicx ball into Fox, who turns adroitly, racing towards goal and feeding a low shot that passes through Greenwood’s legs, clipping one of them … before sliding just wide. 86 min Change for City, Angeldahl replacing Park. 86 min This game has, I’m afraid, been a colossal disappointment. Not that City will mind – if they can hang on, a win like this will do wonders for their confidence. But both teams have been unduly cautious and are capable of so much better. 84 min Williamson is named fans player of the match, and that makes some sense. I guess I’d have gone for a City defender, Aleixandri given she’s also scored, but the Arsenal skipper is a class act on and off the pitch; it’s great to see her back. 83 min Codina spreads to Fox, who wins a throw, but a poor touch from Mead sees the ball trickle behind for a goalkick. 83 min Final change for Arsenal, Little replacing Maanum. 81 min I know why Eidevall took off Russo – playing poorly, Blackstenius on the bench – but perhaps he might’ve figured that his system wasn’t working, and gone for another striker then asked for balls into the box. 79 min Without Miedema, Arsenal look painfully short of guile. Mead can’t get into the game, and a defence as confident as City’s will back themselves to clear crosses. 78 min Good enough. She claims really well, and City, though under a bit of second-half pressure, have limited Arsenal to a few crosses and a few shots from the edge. 76 min Arsenal win a free-kick out on the left, dangerous position; how is Keating’s neck? 75 min Changes for Arsenal, Walti for Cooney-Cross and Codina for Williamson. GOAL! Arsenal 0-1 Manchester City (Aleixandri 74) Kelly’s ball is alright, but it’s the bounce the ball takes off Catley that makes this – she can’t sort out her feet, and Aexiandri punches home the opener from close range! 73 min Keating pings a decent ball out to Fowler, she finds Kelly, and Foord fouls Kelly, who will now stick the free-kick into the box from out on the right touchline… 72 min Hemp runs at Williamson, who stands up well and kicks behind. She’s playing very nicely indeed, and the watching Sarina Wiegman will be delighted, I’m certain. 70 min Blackstenius, having pulled right, is nicely found and cuts back, but Maanum can’t get a shot away thanks to Aleixandri’s timely challenge, then Mead shoots straight at Keating. 70 min Wubben-Moy spreads wide to Foord, who controls beautifully. But her cross is rushed and Greenwood heads clear under nae pressure. 69 min Hemp is now playing as a false nine, with Fowler replacing her on the left-hand side. 68 min Yup, Shaw is now on the bench icing a leg. Hopefully it’s just precautionary. 67 min City send on Fowler for Shaw, who must surely be injured given she almost opened the scoring twice just a few minutes ago. 66 min Ch ch ch changes, Arsenal withdrawing McCabe and Russo for Blackstenius and Catley. 64 min And again! This time, Kelly’s corner picks out Shaw beyond the back post, and her header is kicked off the line by Williamson! 63 min And Kelly’s delivery is excellent, picking out Shaw a fair way out. But she jumps superbly, directing her header goalwards, and D’Angelo claws behind at full stretch! Having barely had a kick this half, City almost take the lead! 63 min Kelly teases McCabe – good luck with that – standing still and waving foot over ball. She wins a corner…. 61 min A fine ball in behind for Russo – Williamson is finding her range – stretches City. But her low cross, seeking Mead, is cleared. 60 min Mead sticks a low one into the box and the ball won’t quite drop for Russo, so City clear. 59 min This is much more like it, Cooney-Cross picking up the second ball and swinging in a terrific cross, Keating doing enough to get it behind. 58 min Ah, the ball didn’t go behind off Foord, so Keating must now defend a corner … which yields another then another, Russo’s header hitting a defender and flying behind. 57 min Keating is down, receiving treatment for what looks like a neck situation, hacing dived low to cut out the attempted cross. I think she’ll be OK. 55 min Hasegawa, who’s been quiet, passes straight to Foord, and again Arsenal move the ball from side to side, until Foord picks up again down the left, isolating Casparaji, diddling her on the outside and racing across the by-line as the challenge comes in. If she goes down, I think she gets a penalty, but she stays up and her cut-back hits Hasegawa, hits her, and bounces behind. 54 min Arsenal are much the better side now, but both their shots on goal this half have come from outside the box. Here they come again, though, Fox winning a challenge with Kelly and sending Russo away down the right. With few options inside the box, though, her cross is easily cleared. 51 min D’Angelo takes a risk, coming out of her box and finding herself under pressure from Shaw, her pass out going straight to Hemp … who’s quickly crowded out.
