Everton 1-3 Manchester City
by James Nalton

THE 50th Women’s FA Cup final panned out as many may have expected. An entertaining spectacle saw Manchester City dominant, Everton persistent, and finished with a moment of quality fitting of this test of skill and endurance.

The Toffees posed enough of a threat for this final not to be called one-sided. They boasted dangerous attacking players of their own, a well-organised defence, and in Sandy MacIver a standout goalkeeper who kept City at bay deep into extra time.

But this 120-minute long epic ended with City deservedly lifting the trophy for the third time in four seasons.
