Women: Reading 2-3 Arsenal - Report

By Lloyd Webb at Adams Park

How it happened

We booked our place in our sixth Continental Cup final thanks to Jordan Nobbs' late winner in a dramatic 3-2 victory against Reading.

It didn’t take long for us to take the lead at Adams Park. With just five minutes gone, Beth Mead ghosted in at the back post to poke home Dan Carter’s dangerous cross.

Our joy was short lived however, as the hosts immediately hit back thanks to a curled effort from Brooke Chaplen from the edge of the box, just two minutes later.
