It took just eight minutes for Arsenal to take the lead at the Gtech Community Stadium when Stina Blackstenius finished off a car that AS FAR weren't able to deal with.

Debutant Smilla Holmberg was involved with the second just a few minutes later as she put in a cross that Olivia Smith controlled before Frida Maanum converted.

VAR intervened to give Arsenal a penalty with 20 minutes gone that Mariona Caldentey converted before Smith made it 4-0 before half-time.

With the game virtually wrapped up at the break it became a matter of 'how many' for Renée Slegers' side.

Alessia Russo came off the bench with an hour gone and managed to notch two before the end to make it 6-0 on the night and set up a final with Corinthians at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
