Lots for Leicester boss Lydia Bedford to look at. They were always climbing a mountain after Jemma Purfield's sending off at the end of the first half.

Arsenal showed their strength in depth with Frida Maanum coming off the bench to double their lead in the second half.

I'm off to write the match report so keep an eye on the website later for any reaction. See ya!

'Nowhere near the target'

That was the first time Demi Lambourne has mistimed coming out and playing that sweeper role.

Nikita Parris has done excellent to get round the keeper, an open goal, but she couldn't get her hips around it and it's nowhere near the target.

FULL-TIME

All over. Arsenal go four points clear at the top!

Nikita Parris is desperate for a goal. She beats the keeper but scuffs it with the goal gaping.

'Relentless from Arsenal'

It's relentless pressure now coming in from Arsenal.

Mana Iwabuchi was in the box just trying to find some space, but there were Leicester bodies everywhere.

YELLOW CARD

Jordan Nobbs loses out to Tash Flint and is frustrated so she tries to grab her shirt and pull her back.

An easy yellow, which she takes and gives the referee a thumbs up.

Nikita Parris almost pounces on it in the six-yard area but Leicester goalkeeper Demi Lambourne gobbles it up.

The stadium announcer has just said that Jordan Nobbs has been named Player of the Match too.

Nikita Parris manages to poke it through to Mana Iwabuchi but she can't get the shot off when she cuts inside onto her right foot.

CLOSE!

Steph Catley curls the free-kick and it's deflected just wide of the right post. It almost sneaked in!

YELLOW CARD

Ashleigh Plumptre brings down Nikita Parris outside the box. It's an easy yellow and Parris is frustrated because she knew she was going through on goal but there was defenders back to cover for Leicester.

SUBSTITUTION

Teyah Goldie is on for her WSL debut for Arsenal.

Lotte Wubben-Moy is off.

'You've got to feel for Leicester '

For the third, it's a fantastic delivery into the box, you've got to feel for Leicester who had so many bodies behind the ball, but make no mistake it was a fantastic finish from Frida Maanum.

Again for the fourth, the ball in from Steph Catley was perfect, Maanum made some great contact, she didn't have to do much, just guided it onto the corner.

GOAL - Arsenal 4-0 Leicester

Arsenal are really sticking the knife in now.

Steph Catley puts another good ball in and Frida Maanum is there again to head it into the far corner.

Two headers in two minutes. A decent showing from the Arsenal substitute.

YELLOW CARD

Sam Tierney is in the book after booting the ball away following a foul from Shannon O'Brien.

Leicester just getting a bit frustrated now.

GOAL - Arsenal 3-0 Leicester

There it is.

Kim Little finds Jordan Nobbs on the right. She curls it into the six-yard area and Frida Maanum gets there ahead of team-mate Nikita Parris to thump a header into the bottom left corner.

CLOSE!

It should be 3-0.

Viktoria Schnaderbeck is picked out in the box with a free-kick from the left but she heads it over the bar.

She was unmarked and had a free header!

'Arsenal in no rush'

Jenna Schillaci

Arsenal are quite happy just to recycle the ball from side-to-side, they're really stretching Leicester.

They've got the extra player and they're finding that extra player on either side. They're in no rush.

Leicester are so deep now but it's understandable. If they can finish the second half having not conceded, that's a real achievement.

Arsenal are making runs everywhere to try and open up some spaces.

Lia Walti has a pop from the edge of the box but it's always going wide.

Steph Catley has been bright since coming on. She moves into the space left behind by Mana Iwabuchi but she's forced wide by Sam Tierney.
