Arsenal beat Aston Villa to stage a Continental League Cup semi-final at home to holders Manchester City.
Frida Maanum scored first with a low kick from 15 yards after 29 minutes and made it 2-0 when she fired into the top corner after the restart.
Maanum then got an assist playing a pass to Caitlin Foord, who added a third goal with a calm finish.
Villa’s squad included former Arsenal midfielder Jordan Nobbs, but his new side were comfortably outclassed.
The semi-final draw took place earlier on Thursday with West Ham set to face Chelsea in the other tie.
The matches will take place on February 8 or 9.
Arsenal’s WSL game at Brighton on Sunday was postponed due to frozen ground and that game was able to go ahead after a midday pitch inspection at Meadow Park.
The hosts dominated and, after Maanum’s opening goal, had chances to extend their lead, but Villa keeper Hannah Hampton did well twice to stop Kim Little’s shot.
But a second goal was coming and a poor throw-in from Villa saw them lose possession with Maanum producing a superb strike for his 10th goal in 15 games.
The Norwegian then set up Foord to score the third. Debutant Victoria Pelova had a chance to add a fourth but had her shot saved by Hampton.
Villa’s best chances fell on Kirsty Hanson, but she failed to test Canadian international goalkeeper Sabrina D’Angelo, making her Gunners debut after join Swedish side Vittsjo GIK earlier this month.
