Chelsea beat Man City after extra time in Women's FA Cup final

Kerr nets twice as Blues retain trophy

Chelsea came from behind to beat Manchester City 3-2 after extra time and retain the Women's FA Cup at Wembley.

Sam Kerr's second-half equaliser forced the game into extra time, before the Australian forward headed in the winner in the 119th minute.

Erin Cuthbert had given the Blues the lead in the 33rd minute, but goals from Lauren Hemp and Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw turned the game in City's favour.

Manchester City look set to win the FA Cup for the first time since 2020, after goals from Lauren Hemp and Bunny Shaw turned the game on its head.

Chelsea captain Magda Eriksson made a vital block to deny Hemp in the 100th minute, before Kerr grabbed her second of the game to seal a dramatic victory.

The win means Chelsea have now won the Women's FA Cup four times, and they become the first team to retain the trophy since Arsenal in 2016.

Conclusion

Chelsea's victory is a testament to their fighting spirit and never-say-die attitude. They were second best for much of the game, but they never gave up and eventually got their reward.

Sam Kerr was the match-winner, but it was a team effort from Chelsea. The Blues showed great character to come from behind and win the game after extra time.

This win is a major boost for Chelsea as they look to challenge for the Women's Super League title this season. It is also a great way to end the season for the Blues, who have won two trophies this year.
