FA Women’s Cup Final 2014: Arsenal 2-0 Everton (Kelly Smith, Yukari Kinga)
She Kicks, issue SK22, July 2014 p.8
A picture-led report on the 2014 FA Women’s Cup Final, played at stadium:mk on 1 June, where Arsenal beat Everton 2-0 to claim a thirteenth title. The magazine calls it a matchwinning performance by Kelly Smith: the Arsenal captain and player-coach curled in a perfect free-kick and then created the second for Japanese team-mate Yukari Kinga. Everton are credited with a brave display, with many youngsters giving a hint of the talent emerging in the game, but Arsenal are judged to have put on a fine performance, one the magazine describes as a fitting goodbye to their outgoing coach Shelley Kerr. Six captioned images run from the starting line-ups through Smith’s free-kick evading the wall to the Gunners celebrating with the trophy.
