Arsenal Ladies - 6 Sunderland Ladies - 0

Arsenal Ladies destroyed Sunderland Ladies with goals coming from Lianne Sanderson with a hat-trick, a brace from Rachel Yankey and the other goal coming from Karen Carney.

However the game was marred by an injury to a young Sunderland defender, 16 year old Lyndsey Fletcher, who collapsed at the end of the first half with an agonising dislocated knee. The start of the second half was delayed by 50 minutes whilst she was taken on a stretcher to hospital by ambulance. We at Arseweb hope she is on the mend and able to travel home back to Sunderland soon.
