Laura Wienroither got through for the Gunners early on but Sandy MacIver turned her effort behind, while City’s Lauren Hemp came closest to a first-half goal when clipping the crossbar.

Arsenal’s Lina Hurtig hit the bar halfway through the second half, after Caitlin Foord had headed on a Katie McCabe cross.

Stina Blackstenius was denied by MacIver near the end of normal time but did get the only goal three minutes into extra-time, forcing home Hurtig’s cross.

Sabrina D’Angelo protected the advantage when saving a Filippa Angeldahl strike and Arsenal now await the winners of Thursday’s semi-final between West Ham and Chelsea at Dagenham & Redbridge FC, which is live on BBC Red Button/iPlayer/BBC Sport Website and The FA Player.

The final is at Selhurst Park on Sunday 5 March.
