Arsenal Ladies beat Chelsea Ladies 2-1

Arsenal Ladies maintained their unbeaten run since the Women's Super League break with a 2-1 win over Chelsea Ladies.

A late goal from Danielle van de Donk was the difference between the sides as Arsenal battled back from an early deficit to claim a huge away win in front of a crowd just short of 2,000 at Wheatsheaf Park.

Chelsea had an early penalty appeal turned down after Gemma Davison appeared to brought down in the area, but they claimed the lead in the eighth minute in farcical fashion.

England full-back Alex Scott fired a backpass at 'keeper Sari van Veedendaal which skipped past her and into the empty net.

Arsenal upped the pressure after that setback and levelled the match a minute before half-time when a Fara Williams corner was headed home by Vicky Losada.

Chelsea had a golden chance to retake the lead seven minutes before the final whistle but Claire Rafferty made a hash of finding the net from close range.

And they were made to pay on 84 when Van De Donk beat Chelsea 'keeper Hedvig Lindahl to the ball and finished from a tight angle.
