LONDON, England (Reuters) - Arsenal forward Beth Mead was the star of the show as they hammered Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0 to set up a Women's FA Cup final showdown with Chelsea, who eased past holders Manchester City earlier on Sunday.

The final, which had to be rescheduled after the competition was halted in January due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will take place at London's Wembley Stadium on Dec. 5.

But their quality finally told in the 50th minute as Kim Little found the net after some excellent work from Mead on the left. The England international scored herself four minutes later when she rifled a low shot into the far corner. Earlier, Chelsea were too good for City as they made the most of some sloppy goalkeeping from Karima Taieb and scored twice in a five-minute spell in the first half.

City, seeking a third straight title in the competition, improved in the second half but conceded again when Beth England headed home from a Jessie Fleming cross in the 89th minute to seal victory for the London side.
