Lincoln to set up Arsenal final

         
  She went past three or four players to set up Natalia's goal and then she scored an incredible goal herself.Sampson, who can look forward to a second final against the Gunners in three seasons, hailed his Spanish stars.Nat's goal was scruffy but you give her a chance and she'll score for you.And on 81 minutes Del Rio wrapped up a win that set up a meeting with Arsenal at the Keepmoat Stadium on 26 May.It wasn't just Laura and Nat though, that was a tremendous performance against a tough team to beat.In front of a mainly Bristol-supporting crowd of 887 at Ashton Gate, Natalia opened the scoring on the hour mark with her fourth goal in three games.Lincoln manager Rick Passmoor did not agree with Sampson, feeling his side were not up to their usual standard.Striker Natasha Harding rounded goalkeeper Karen Bardsley but her angled shot was brilliantly blocked by central defender Sophie Bradley.We were shrinking violets," said Passmoor.Sampson's team suffered a 35th-minute setback as Heatherson left the field on a stretcher with a suspected broken leg following a collision with Bradley. If you go into any game where players don't perform and don't stick to the game plan, you'll get exposed.The England keeper denied Watts again five minutes after the break, this time with a superb diving save from the substitute's 15-yard drive.Too many of my players have got to look themselves in the mirror and bounce back from this.
