Manchester City clinched a domestic double after a 4‑0 triumph over Brighton at Wembley. Coach Jeglertz celebrated a first‑season haul of two trophies, ending a 2020 drought that had left the club behind Chelsea for years. The win capped a season that saw City re‑establish dominance in English women’s football for the nation this year.

The final saw Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw score, joining Alex Greenwood to put City ahead 2‑0 before Aoba Fujino and Vivianne Miedema sealed the victory. Shaw, who had flirted with Chelsea, sealed a new long‑term contract in front of the crowd, turning a tense week of uncertainty into a moment of triumph for the team and fans.

Jeglertz praised the squad’s resilience, noting that “training more” and “working harder” will be his priority as City prepares to defend the title. The 4‑0 scoreline underscored a team that can dominate possession yet still falters early, a lesson the coaching staff will address before the next season’s challenges for the league and Europe this.

With the FA Cup now in hand, City faces a congested calendar that includes European fixtures and a league campaign that demands consistency. Maintaining the current core while adding depth will test Jeglertz’s squad management, but the club’s recent resurgence suggests they can stay at the summit of English women’s football for the season this.
