"Khadija Shaw scored twice to complete a superb comeback from Manchester City in a 3-2 win over Chelsea and book their FA Cup final place after extra time."
"Chelsea had looked set to cruise into the showpiece, but the holders were undone late in regulation time before Shaw put the icing on the cake in the 103rd minute."
"City fought their way back into the match in the 86th minute, with Mary Fowler initially forced wide, though she recovered to bend a lovely strike into the bottom-left corner."
"But City fought their way back into the match in the 86th minute, with Mary Fowler initially forced wide, though she recovered to bend a lovely strike into the bottom-left corner. And Shaw forced extra time in the first of seven added minutes; with her back to goal, she brilliantly spun to nestle her low effort past Hampton, and after wasting some good chances early in the additional 30 minutes, Shaw rose high to nod in Yui Hasegawa's cross after the Japan international had pounced on Hampton's loose pass."
Chelsea took an early lead when Erin Cuthbert scored after City lost possession playing out from the back. A second Chelsea goal was ruled out when Sam Kerr’s effort was disallowed for an offside-related decision involving Ellie Carpenter. After halftime, Sjoeke Nusken had a chance cleared off the line before Kerr capitalized on a mistake by Khiara Keating to make it 2-1. Kerr’s third goal was denied by an offside flag. Mary Fowler’s strike leveled the match in the 86th minute, and Khadija Shaw scored twice in extra time, first spinning and finishing past Hampton and then heading in Yui Hasegawa’s cross. Keating later made a crucial save to prevent penalties as City advanced to face Brighton in the final.
