Arsenal will play Doncaster Rovers Belles in their fifth successive League Cup Final appearance following a 4-0 win at Chelsea in the Semi-Finals.
Arsenal started off well and had plenty of chances in the first half but only Sophie Perry's 19th-minute own-goal separated the sides at the break.
That all changed early in the second half when Julie Fleeting doubled the lead on 56 minutes. The Chelsea keeper made a fine save but could not hold on to the ball and Fleeting pounced to tap in from six yards.
Arsenal were now clearly on top, winning their battles all over the pitch. Jayne Ludlow got her reward for an influential display when she slotted in at the back post after Karen Carney's inch-perfect free kick.
Fleeting then wrapped up the victory in the 85th minute. Kelly Smith took aim from outside the box and Fleeting was perfectly placed to deflect the England star's effort past the keeper.
