Sunderland created their first half chance as Sophie Williams chased a long ball down the left and crossed, but Niamh Fahey's challenge was enough to prevent Jordan Nobbs getting in a clean shot on goal. Arsenal hit back with Little striking over from distance and Davison drawing a save from Sunderland goalkeeper Helen Alderson after cutting in from the left. An angled shot from Suzanne Grant slid underneath Alderson, but Lucy Bronze managed to prevent Rachel Yankey from scoring with a last-ditch clearance. Arsenal took the lead just after the half hour, when Alderson failed to hold Davison's shot and Katie Chapman followed up to score from the rebound. The Gunners had a chance to double their lead two minutes ahead of the break, when Little slotted a good ball through to Grant, but her shot went wide of the far post.https://www.womenssoccerscene.co.uk/womens-football-news-2008-2009/090505-04.htm Women's Soccer Scene 5 May 2009 5 May 2018 Arsenal too strong for plucky Sunderland 6 July 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160706054116/https://www.womenssoccerscene.co.uk/womens-football-news-2008-2009/090505-04.htm bot: unknown Arsenal had most of the possession in the second half, but their second goal came in injury time, when Chapman chipped the ball into the path of Little, who got round Alderson before tucking the ball into the empty net. Kelly McDougall pulled one back for Sunderland in the seventh minute of stoppage time, whose length was dictated by Sophie Williams having to receive more than five minutes of treatment after suffering a seizure.https://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/may/04/womens-fa-cup-final-arsenal-sunderland The Guardian 4 May 2009 5 May 2018 Arsenal give Vic Akers the right send-off with the wrong performance Details 4 May 2009 13:00 BST 2–1 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/women/8032660.stm Arsenal Sunderland *Chapman 32 Little 90+2 *McDougall 90+7 Pride Park Stadium 23,291 Saša Ihringová (Shropshire) Derby Arsenal FFFFFF FF0000 _arsenalhome0810 FF0000 _arsenalhome0810 FF0000 _arsenalhome0810 FFFFFF _arsenal0810h _arsenalhomeSunderland _sunderland0809a _sunderland0809a _sunderland0809a _sunderland0809a 000099 0000FF 000099 000099 0000FF GK 1IRE Emma ByrneDF 15ENG Laura Bassett 90+4DF 7IRE Ciara GrantDF 5ENG Gilly FlahertyDF 19IRE Niamh FaheyMF 17ENG Katie ChapmanMF 4WAL Jayne Ludlow (c)MF 12ENG Gemma Davison 82MF 11ENG Rachel YankeyFW 16SCO Kim LittleFW 9SCO Suzanne Grant 58Substitutes:DF 6ENG Faye White 90+4FW 20WAL Helen Lander 58MF 18 SCO Natalie Ross 82GK 13JAM Becky SpencerDF 21LCA Eartha PondManager:ENG Vic Akers300px GK 1ENG Helen AldersonDF 2ENG Lucy BronzeDF 5ENG Stephanie Bannon (c)DF 6ENG Victoria Greenwell 88DF 3ENG Sophie HallidayMF 7ENG Lucy StaniforthMF 4ENG Jordan NobbsMF 8ENG Kelly McDougallFW 9ENG Sophie Williams 58FW 10USA Natalia Gutteridge 84FW 11ENG Demi StokesSubstitutes:FW 12ENG Nicola Devine 58MF 14ENG Sarah Danby 84GK ENG Rachael LawsMF ENG Steph O'BrienDF ENG Abbey HolmesManager:ENG Mick Mulhern Player of the match Lucy Bronze (Sunderland) Assistant referees: Emma Everson Sarah Garratt Fourth official: Sian Massey-EllisMatch rules 90 minutes. 30 minutes of extra-time if necessary.
