Ludlow struck the bar twice, and McArthur was unable to pounce on a poor clearance from Emma Byrne. Leeds substitute Jessica Clarke nearly provided Arsenal's Anita Asante a chance for goal with a misplaced backheel before both Kelly Smith and Karen Carney saw efforts cleared off the line. Arsenal eventually found the winning goal in the second minute of stoppage time, after a corner from Carney found Ludlow for a late volley to secure Arsenal's 9th competition victory.
