Birmingh am knocked FA Cup holders Arsenal out of the competition yesterday, thanks to a Marisa Ewers second-half strike.

For the Gunners, it was a complete contrast to the 10-0 victory over Tottenham two weeks ago where they could not miss — this time drawing a blank thanks to the heroics of Blues keeper Ann-Katrin Berger.

Birmingham boss Marc Skinner said: “Ann-Katrin is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and she’s shown that today. We brought her to the club for a reason and you could see why.
