Rachel Yankey scored a hat-trick as Arsenal Ladies hit six for the fourth
successive game. Gilly Flaherty, Kim Little and Kelly Smith also notched,
the latter scoring her 15th goal of the fledgling season.

Rachel Yankey完成了加盟槍手4個賽季以來的第6個帽子戲法,
Gilly Flaherty和小金也各有一球入帳,
Kelly Smith射入08-09賽季個人第15粒進球, 在進球榜上領先群雌。

Two late replies from the visitors were not enough to stop Arsenal cruising
through to the Second Round of the League Cup.

作客來訪的查爾頓並未能阻止女槍前進的腳步。

Although there were a number of changes to the line up, Arsenal repeated
their recent habit of hitting teams early. It was England winger Yankey who
struck in the first minute after Alex Scott had used her burning pace to full
affect down the right flank. Scott’s by-line cross was despatched
by Yankey with her first touch of the game.

雖然陣容和以往有些許不同, 但女槍輕鬆地主導著比賽進行。
英格蘭國腳的Rachel Yankey開賽不久就入球。

It was almost a carbon copy for Arsenal’s second in the 13th minute as Scott
again provided the cross for defender Flaherty to convert her first goal of
the season.

13分鐘時, 女槍的後衛Gilly Flaherty射入個人本賽季的首個入球。

With the game continuing at a frenetic pace, Charlton hung on well,
with Becky Musial making a number of fine saves to keep the visitors in the
game.  That was until just past the half hour stage when Little saw her
in-swinging corner sail straight into the top far corner of the net after
Becky Musial, in the visitors’ goal, misjudged the flight and pace of the
ball. Smith was on hand just 7 minutes later to make it 4-0 before the break.

隨著比賽的白熱化, 查爾頓球員防守也越見成熟,
直到32分鐘時, 才被女槍的小金再度攻破其大門; 
39分, Smith錦上添花再下一城, 比分4-0。

After the break Charlton seemed to recover their shape and kept Arsenal at bay
for most of the second period. The visitors managed a reply with a wonderful
25-yard strike from midfielder Kimberley Dixson that sailed over the advanced
Rebecca Spencer in goal.

中場休息過後, 查爾頓打起精神更加堅守禁區, 不讓女槍們越雷池一步。
查爾頓教練也進行了人員的調整, 換下進球的Kimberley Dixson。

Arsenal then replied twice in quick succession with Yankey scoring twice in as
many minutes to secure a hat-trick before Rosie Webb grabbed a very late 2nd
for Charlton.

Yankey在終場前7分鐘接連打進2記入球, 幫助球隊大勝查爾頓女足。
