Manchester City thrash Brighton to seal Women’s FA Cup and historic Double

Ruthless Manchester City won the Women’s FA Cup for a fourth time and completed a domestic double as they eventually coasted to a 4-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, as Khadija Shaw celebrated signing her new contract with a Wembley goal.

Shaw and her Manchester City teammates provided Brighton with a harsh lesson on the importance of taking your chances in a final, with Brighton having looked the stronger side for large parts of the game but having lacked the clinical edge in the final third that the league champions demonstrated after riding out some Brighton pressure.
