Watch the extended highlights from City’s Adobe Women’s FA Cup last-eight clash with Aston Villa at the Joie Stadium.
Second half goals from Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw and Jess Park helped book our place in the semi-finals of the historic competition with a 2-0 triumph in Manchester.
The Blues started quickly, but were stifled by a water-tight Villans defence who kept the hosts out thanks, in-part, to Sabrina D’Angelo who made a string of impressive saves.
Down the other end, Ayaka Yamashita was then called into action to keep the scoreline goalless when she tipped Ebony Salmon’s stinging drive over the bar after the ball looked certain to find the net.
City then began the second 45 brightly and broke the deadlock when Bunny collected Mary Fowler’s fantastic pass behind the visitors’ backline before our striker coolly dispatched from close range.
England international Park then set the seal on a fine afternoon in the sunshine when she collected Vivianne Miedema’s pass to slam into the back of the net.
It means we’ve reached the last-four of the FA Cup for the first time since 2022 and will face Manchester United for a place in May’s showpiece at Wembley.
