Arsenal 4-1 Leeds: A devastating six-minute spell handed Arsenal a hat-trick of league and cup doubles as they crushed Leeds 4-1 in the FA Women's Cup final at the City Ground.

Second-half goals from Kelly Smith (54), Jayne Ludlow (58) and Lianne Sanderson (60) broke United's resistance, led by a heroic display from goalkeeper Carly Telford.

Jessica Clarke quickly (68) pulled one back, but Smith (83) ensured there would be no repeat of the Gunners' shock FA Women's Premier League Cup defeat to Everton.
