Bunny Shaw stuns and Brighton remains calm to reach Women's FA Cup final

Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago

Description

The Women's FA Cup final is set with Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion advancing after comeback wins.

Host Jillian Sakovits is joined by The Athletic’s Megan Feringa and Charlotte Harpur who were at the semifinals. The trio breaks down what happened and what we can expect from the final at Wembley Stadium. For Manchester City, it was striker Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw who mounted the team's comeback against Chelsea, a club that recently offered the striker a reported £1 million a year deal to join their side. Meanwhile, Brighton continues to show their ambition with a 3-2 comeback win against Liverpool, which prompted a clear warning from Liverpool head coach Gareth Taylor about what will happen to teams that don't invest.

The crew also discusses the recent news that Arsenal forward Beth Mead will leave the club at the end of the season. Is her next destination the WSL titleholders, City?
