CELIN BIZET and Grace Clinton scored as Manchester United defeated depleted rivals Manchester City 2-0 to set up a Women’s FA Cup final with Chelsea.
The defending champions were good value as they reached their third final in a row, scoring both goals in the first quarter of the game, before goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce did her bit to see off any hopes of a revival from the hosts.
City, reduced to a six-strong bench and without the likes of Khadija Shaw, Vivianne Miedema and Lauren Hemp, were underpowered and unable to keep their last realistic hope of success this term alive at the Joie Stadium.
