Manchester City completes double by crushing Brighton 4-0 in Women's FA Cup
final
LONDON (AP) --- Manchester City won the Women's FA Cup on Sunday, wrapping up a
first league and cup double in style.
Women's Super League champion City beat Brighton 4-0 in the final in front of
almost 44,000 fans at Wembley to claim its fourth FA Cup and the first since
2020.
Alex Greenwood floated in a cross for Khadija "Bunny" Shaw to head in the
opener in the 38th minute and the City captain then got on the scoresheet
herself with a brilliant free kick on the stroke of halftime.
Substitutes Aoba Fujino and Vivianne Miedema extended City's lead in the second
half against first-time FA Cup finalist Brighton, which was bidding for its
first major trophy.
City had clinched its first WSL title in a decade last month in Swedish coach
Andre Jeglertz's first season at the club after joining from Denmark's
national team.
