Manchester City lifted the Women's FA Cup trophy with a commanding 4-0 win over Brighton at Wembley, completing the domestic double after already securing the WSL title. Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw opened the scoring with a powerful header from Alex Greenwood's cross, continuing her excellent form this season.

Brighton started brightly with Kiko Seike causing problems down the right wing, but Man City took control once they found their rhythm. Greenwood doubled the lead with a well-taken free-kick, before Aoba Fujino and Vivianne Miedema added gloss to the scoreline in the second half.

The victory marked Man City's first FA Cup triumph since 2020 and mirrored their 2016 double-winning campaign under Andree Jeglertz. For Brighton, it was a historic first major final appearance, though they will be disappointed not to have replicated their recent 3-2 league victory over the same opponents.

Charlotte Marsh's analysis highlighted how Jeglertz has transformed City from 'almost-rans to the ones to beat.' Shaw's decision to stay proved vital, while Greenwood's player-of-the-match award capped a memorable afternoon for the champions.
