Manchester City thrash Brighton 4-0 to win women's FA Cup

Manchester City ​hammered Brighton & Hove Albion to win the Women's FA Cup final at Wembley on ⁠Sunday, securing the trophy for the ⁠first time since 2020 and ‌completing a domestic ​double in the process.

After bulldozing their way to the Women's Super League title on the back of Bunny ​Shaw's 21 ⁠goals, the Jamaican international was instrumental again and, after rumours that she might depart, she celebrated ⁠signing a ‌new contract with City by opening the scoring in the ‌38th minute.

Brighton, who beat City in ⁠the league run-in but could not prevent them from ‌being crowned champions, started well ‌in their first trip to ‌the final but the wheels ‌came off when Alex Greenwood added a second goal deep into first-half stoppage time ⁠to ⁠send City in 2-0 up at the break.

Aoba Fujino netted the third in the 66th minute, ghosting past two Brighton defenders and firing home with her left foot, ​and Dutch striker Vivianne Miedema headed ​the fourth ​three minutes before full time to complete the ​rout.
