Alice Bergstrom dinks in a cross and Lucia Lobato heads it clear - or at least she thinks she has! The ball floats all the way to the back post and bounces off the crossbar. A big sigh of relief there for the Charlton defender. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton It's all over! Arsenal 0-2 Brighton Late, late drama as Alessia Russo is down in significant pain after being caught by Maelys Mpome when chasing a loose ball in the box. Don't think there was any intent in there from the Brighton defender, but she did catch Russo on the Achilles. Nothing given though. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton While the focus will undoubtedly be on 14-time winners Arsenal being eliminated, we mustn't overlook what a brilliant away performance this has been from Brighton. Solid and tight defensively, limiting the hosts to just two efforts on target, and clinical when it mattered in the final third. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton Decent effort from substitute Katie Mc Cabe, who gets her shot up and over the wall, but the curl takes it the wrong side of the post. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton Olivia Smith is hauled to the floor as she tries to run past Manuela Vanegas into the box. The home crowd chant "Off, off, off" with the full-back already on a booking, but they're only getting the free kick. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton Gilly Flaherty Former Arsenal defender on BBC Radio 5 Live This has been a great performance from Brighton. They have done really well defensively, they have frustrated and limited Arsenal to barely any chances at all, and they have really got in their opponents' faces as well. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton Another Brighton injury now as keeper Chiamaka Nnadozie calls for treatment after attempting to save that Russo volley. She's booed throughout her brief treatment before things get restarted once more. Charlton 0-0 Liverpool Liverpool have seen more of the ball in these opening 18 minutes, but Charlton have looked a lot more dangerous in front of goal. They just need to make one of those chances count. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton Alessia Russo makes a clever run across the front post and does well to take down Emily Fox's dinked ball on the run but she smashes her volley over. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton We'll have eight, yes EIGHT minutes of stoppage time at Meadow Park. Not entirely sure where that has come from but the Arsenal fans won't care if their side use it to drag themselves level. Charlton 0-0 Liverpool Charlotte Newsham does brilliantly to beat a couple of Liverpool players on the left wing before fizzing in a dangerous low ball, but Amalie Thestrup can't adjust her feet enough to get a shot away. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton Another Arsenal cross, this time from Emily Fox, into the Brighton area but it's thumped high into the afternoon sunshine. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton Gilly Flaherty Former Arsenal defender on BBC Radio 5 Live It's very difficult to see a way back into this for Arsenal right now. If it was an afternoon where Arsenal had created chance after chance after chance, then you would think they had the momentum and could get something - but they haven't. It has been a really poor performance, especially in front of goal. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton The physios are on to tend to Madison Haley who is down with a spot of cramp after her relentless running display. That gives the Brighton bench just enough time to ready defender Rachel Mc Lauchlan to come on and replace her for the closing stages. Charlton 0-0 Liverpool Cornelia Kapocs whips a ball into the middle of Charlton box where Aurélie Csillag is well positioned to have a go, but Elisha N'Dow stays with her and steals the ball to hoof it clear. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton It's pinball around the Brighton box as an Arsenal corner descends into a shooting exercise, with those in red shirts firing snapshots at the target. First Mariona Caldentey, then Olivia Smith and finally Laia Codina, whose shot makes it through the sea of blue and white to trouble keeper Chimaka Nnadozie, who responds with a strong two-handed parry. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton Gilly Flaherty Former Arsenal defender on BBC Radio 5 Live Arsenal haven't really created anything at all today. It isn't like they have been knocking on the door continuously. Brighton are the ones who seem to be in full control of the game, especially in these latter stages. Charlton 0-0 Liverpool That would have been a lovely bit of play, had Amalie Thestrup managed to pull off that backheel finish. But it was never getting past Liverpool keeper Jennifer Falk. Arsenal 0-2 Brighton One last roll of the dice for Arsenal as they send on first choice right-back Emily Fox in place of youngster Smilla Holmberg.
