Katie McCabe fired Arsenal ahead after just 15 minutes at West HamKatie McCabe and Lia Walti struck to send 14-time winners Arsenal into the Women's FA Cup fifth round with a 2-0 win at last year's runners-up West Ham. Elsewhere, Women's Super League side Tottenham beat fourth-tier Barnsley 5-0 and Liverpool thrashed Blackburn 8-1. There may yet be another fourth-tier side in the hat as eight-time Cup winners Southampton FC await an FA ruling over their abandoned game with Championship side Crystal Palace. Rule 11(b) of the FA Women's Cup states: "When any match has been abandoned after it has commenced but before it has been completed, the Women's Football Board shall deal with the matter as it sees fit in its absolute discretion." BBC Sport understands the FA plans to make a decision on the tie's status before Monday evening's fifth-round draw.
