Tottenham have made a triple change in search of a leveller, and Gaupset nearly found one when her header from Pelova's cross drifted just wide. But Arsenal have weathered that spell comfortably, with Cooney-Cross picking up a late yellow for a foul as the hosts press for an equaliser. The numbers still tell the story of Arsenal's control - 59.5% possession and a 12-5 edge in shots - as the visitors look to see out the final stages at 1-2.

Arsenal continue to dictate, with Russo denied again as Kop kept out her shot from outside the box, while Smith was flagged offside moments later. Tottenham's frustration showed as Stanway was booked for a foul on Tandberg, giving the hosts a third yellow card of the afternoon, but with possession and shots still running heavily Arsenal's way, the Gunners remain comfortably in control at 1-2.

Arsenal have finally turned their dominance into a second goal, and it was nearly three in a frantic few minutes. Baum crashed a shot against the post from a Williamson corner before Russo's effort was saved, but Morris's handball in the box gave Russo the chance to convert from the spot. With shots now 10-3 and possession still firmly in Arsenal's favour, Tottenham are being pinned back for long spells.

Quiet start to the second half with the stats barely moving from where they stood at the break. Arsenal remain the dominant side on paper, still boasting around 63% possession and that 7-3 shot advantage, but there's been nothing yet in the early exchanges to add to those first-half chances. Tottenham will be happy to have avoided any further scares as they look to settle after the restart.

Half time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: 1-1. Tandberg's early header had the hosts ahead, but Stanway's finish, teed up by Russo, levelled things within minutes and Arsenal have controlled much of the half since, finishing it with 63% possession and seven shots to Spurs' three. Summanen's late booking added to Tottenham's discipline problems, with Koga also carded earlier, as Arsenal push for a second corner in stoppage time to end the half on top.

Tottenham have found a bit more of a foothold in this spell, with Gaupset and Pelova both trying their luck from outside the box, though neither effort troubled Misa Rodríguez. Arsenal are still edging the shot count and set the tempo for most of the period, with Fox the latest to go close from the centre of the box, but the sharp final ball that brought the goals has been missing since Koga's booking.

Arsenal have kept control after levelling, pushing possession up to nearly 57% and continuing to win set-piece after set-piece around the Spurs box.

Arsenal are level almost immediately! Stanway, so often the one testing Kop from distance, finally gets her reward with a right-footed finish from the centre of the box to make it 1-1. The Gunners' dominance was threatening to go unrewarded, but that's the equaliser their play has deserved.

Arsenal have made all the early running at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, dominating possession and forcing Lize Kop into action. Stanway twice tested the Spurs keeper from the edge of the box, while Olivia Smith somehow fired wide from close range after good work in the area. Tottenham have barely had a sniff so far, with Summanen's foul giving away another free kick as the hosts try to weather the storm.
