Lisa Evans scored a hat-trick as Arsenal beat Tottenham 4-0 in the Women's FA Cup quarter-finals.

Republic of Ireland captain Katie McCabe had a goal disallowed before Arsenal went ahead in the 73rd minute.

Jordan Nobbs caught out Tottenham’s defence, intercepting the ball and sending a fine lobbed effort over goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer from outside the box.

Arsenal made it 2-0 soon after in the 74th minute. Vivienne Miedema played the ball just ahead of Evans in the Tottenham area who slotted it calmly into the bottom corner.

In the 85th minute, Danielle Van De Donk played the ball into Evans, who was running down the left. Evans took one touch before again finding the net with a left-footed strike.

Evans completed her treble in the last minute, getting on the end of a Beth Mead cross from the right after being helped by a Caitlin Foord dummy.

Spurs recent signing, US World Cup winner Alex Morgan, was not fit enough to make an appearance off the bench.

In Sunday's remaining quarter-finals, Everton face Chelsea (1300) Leicester play Man City (1400) and Brighton & Hove Albion, who number Denise O'Sullivan, Rianna Jarrett and Megan Connolly among their ranks, take on Birmingham City (1400).
