From the Official Club:

 

Chelsea Ladies reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup this weekend with a 3-1 extra-time triumph over Millwall. Strikes from Dunia Susi (pictured) and Emma Whitter added to Drew Spence's opener, giving the Blues a two-goal lead at the end of a tough encounter that needed an extra 30 minutes to reach a decisive score.

 

Now we'll face Aston Villa in the quarter-finals after the Midlanders beat Curzon Ashton 2-1 away from home. That game will take place in Birmingham this Sunday (21 February). Following earlier postponements, the one remaining fifth round tie victory went to Nottingham Forest, who beat hosts Yeovil Town 1-0 thanks to an Andi Bell goal in the 63rd minute.

 

There was also two FA Cup quarter-final clashes which took place this weekend, with Arsenal thrashing Doncaster 5-0 at home in the first. Goals in that game came from Rachel Yankey and Kim Little, who scored her fifth hat-trick of the season. The Gunners' final goal came from a Doncaster player. In the other quarter-final match, Everton beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 at home thanks to goals from Toni Duggan and Jody Handley.

 

Nottingham Forest will now face Barnet Ladies in the other quarter-final match to take place this weekend. And should they progress to the next round, Forest will be only one game away from playing the final inside their home stadium. Nottingham Forest's City Ground has been selected for the third time in four years to host the Women's FA Cup Final at the end of the season.

 

Last season's final was played inside Derby County's Pride Park but the two previous finals took place inside the City Ground. In fact, the stadium holds the record for highest attendance at a domestic women's game in England when 24,582 fans turned up to watch the 2008 FA Cup Final between Arsenal and Leeds. This year's final will take place on the May Bank Holiday (Monday 3 May).
