Liverpool celebrate their goalGetty Images
Liverpool profited from a late own goal to beat Arsenal 1-0 and book their spot in the Women's FA Cup semi-finals.
It is the first time Liverpool have progressed to the last four since being knocked out at that stage by Manchester City in 2016-17, and marks their second consecutive win under Amber Whiteley, who replaced Matt Beard as interim head coach at the end of February.
Liverpool were the better side during a first half that lacked fluidity, frustrating Arsenal with their high press and making several forays forward through Olivia Smith on the right wing.
The best chance fell to Sophie Roman Haug on the stroke of half-time, who closed down Daphne van Domselaar as Arsenal tried to play out from the back but took too long to shoot, allowing the goalkeeper to recover.
Van Domselaar survived having her pocket picked once again by Roman Haug early in the second half, before the Norway international finally made Liverpool's pressure count in the 78th minute.
She struck a bouncing ball on the half-volley from just inside the box and her shot hit the post and rebounded in off the back of a stranded Van Domselaar.
Liverpool join Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea in the semi-finals.
