Fleeting was at the heart of Arsenal's demolition of Leicester
Scotland striker Julie Fleeting hit a hat-trick as Arsenal swept into the women's Premier League Cup semi-finals with a 7-0 trouncing of Leicester City.
Victory in the one-sided tie, postponed from last week, means Arsenal meet London rivals Chelsea in the last four.
Because of international calls and bad weather there was only one league game on Sunday as Nottingham Forest won their basement battle with Fulham 3-1.
Forest's win lifted them off the bottom at the expense of the Cottagers.
Premier League Cup Leicester City 0-7 Arsenal
England winger Rachel Yankey put Arsenal ahead in the 20th minute but Leicester held out until a fatal double blow just before half-time.
The Northern Division side were effectively killed off as a Kelly Smith penalty and Fleeting's first goal hit the net within 30 seconds of each other.
An unfortunate Laura Impey own goal five minutes after the interval rubbed salt into the home side's wounds.
And in the last seven minutes Fleeting completed her hat-trick, her final two strikes sandwiching a Ciara Grant goal.
