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 clawing her way to the Women’s Super League title thanks to Khadija Shaw’s 21 goals, the Jamaican international once again played a key role and following rumors that she would be leaving, she celebrated signing a new contract with City by opening the scoring in the 38th minute.

Brighton, who defeated City in the league match, started well in their first trip to the final but the wheels were broken when Alex Greenwood added a second goal deep into first-half stoppage time to send City into a 2-0 lead at half-time.
Aoba Fujino scored the third in the 66th minute, firing past two Brighton defenders and firing home with her left foot, while Dutch striker Vivianne Miedema headed the fourth three minutes from time to complete the rout.
