Manchester City thrash Brighton to win first Women's FA Cup since 2020

After powering their way to the Women's Super League title, fuelled by Bunny Shaw's 21 goals, the Jamaican international proved pivotal once more. Amid speculation she might leave, she marked 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 stop them from being crowned champions, started well in their first final appearance. However, their momentum faltered when Alex Greenwood added a second goal deep into first-half stoppage time, sending City in 2-0 up at the break.

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