Two more goals in a three-minute spell effectively sealed Arsenal’s progress, Katie McCabe’s fantastic volley could only be helped into the roof of the net by Rachel Laws and Foord then shooting on the turn from outside the box to make it 3-0.
Foord was again involved just after the hour mark, as Kim Little got the Gunners fourth goal.

The highest ever attendance for a Tractor Girls home fixture of 1,167 saw Anna Grey volley home with ten minutes of the extra-time left to play.
However, more drama was to come as Saints keeper Kayla Rendell went up for a last-gasp set-piece and nodded in the leveller.
Rendell then took the Saints opening penalty but Sarah Quantrill made the first of two saves in the shoot-out.
Birmingham defeat Durham

Nat Johnson fired in a second for United and although Shannon Stamps swiftly replied for the Baggies, Katie Wilkinson hit home via a corner to make it 3-1.
With 15 minutes to go, Coventry had Natalie Haigh sent off for pulling back Mariam Mahmood and Leigh Dugmore converted the resulting penalty.
But the Championship side secured their progress when Olivia Fergusson regained a two-goal cushion.
