"Chelsea had started brightly in a strong first half, with Phallon Tullis-Joyce making some fine saves to keep the scoreline level. Girma also saw an effort cleared off the line before the break, but the Blues finally found the breakthrough in the 78th minute as Sam Kerr came off the bench to turn in Veerle Buurman's knockdown. However, United were back on level terms just three minutes later as substitute Simi Awujo arrived at the back post to profit during a scramble in the box."
"Elsewhere, Arsenal also booked their passage into the last eight with a comfortable 3-0 win over Bristol City. Kim Little, Victoria Pelova and Frida Maanum were all on target for the Gunners, though the second half was marred by a head injury to Olivia Smith, who was stretchered off. And Manchester City are also through after a 4-0 victory over Sheffield United. Lauren Hemp scored twice as they raced into a three-goal lead inside 22 minutes, with Aoba Fujino also on target."
Naomi Girma scored an extra-time tap-in in the 99th minute to give Chelsea a 2-1 FA Cup win over Manchester United and advance to the quarter-finals. Sam Kerr opened the scoring in the 78th minute after coming off the bench, but Simi Awujo equalised three minutes later. Phallon Tullis-Joyce made several key saves and Girma had an effort cleared off the line before half-time. Girma's extra-time goal was her first for the club. Arsenal beat Bristol City 3-0 and Manchester City defeated Sheffield United 4-0 to also reach the last eight.
