Man City beat Brighton to lift FA Cup

Manchester City are celebrating after winning the Women's FA Cup.

They beat Brighton 4-0 at London's Wembley Stadium to lift the trophy for the fourth time in their history.

The result means that City have sealed a historic domestic double this season.

Three weeks ago they were crowned Women's Super League champions, ending a ten-year wait for the title.

Both sides made a strong start to the game, in what was Brighton's first-ever appearance at a Women's FA Cup final.

But it was City's star striker, Bunny Shaw, who, last week, announced her contract extension with the club proving why she's widely considered to be one of the best strikers in the WSL.

She beat Brighton goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie to Alex Greenwood's cross to power in City's first goal after 38 minutes.

And it was City captain Greenwood who scored their second just before half-time, thanks to a low 20-yard free-kick.

In the second half, City continued to dominate the game.

Substitute Aoba Fujino netted their third in the 66th minute, thanks to an assist from Shaw.

And Vivianne Miedema made it 4-0 late on in the game to seal a historic win for City.

It's the fourth time that City have lifted the FA Cup in their history – after also winning the competition in 2017, 2019 and 2020.

It's the club's second trophy of the season, having taken top spot in the Women's Super League last month for the first time since 2016.

Speaking to Channel 4 after the match, Manchester City manager Andree Jeglertz said he was delighted with the result, describing the season as "amazing."

He explained: "To finish on a high like this is something that in your wildest dreams you don't think of when starting this job."
